[GRASSLIST:9248] Re: GRASS and ArcSDE

[Matthew Perry]

David,

  Frank W. has recently added vector SDE support to OGR :
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2005-November/007242.html.

So theoretically you can use v.in.ogr for the vectors but I have no
idea how mature this is yet. SDE rasters are not supported at all
AFAIK.
