[GRASS-user] Importing data in .atx/.gdb format

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hei Rich,

Regarding the v.in.ogr command, I was a bit unclear (with folder I meant the "FGDB object" whit the .gdb ending, which the OS treats a folder)

For me:
v.in.ogr -l input=D:\Geodatabases\Topographic_data_2014.gdb
works without issues.

As Helmut wrote, if that does not work you should check if your GDAL installation supports FGDB:
ogrinfo --formats

Kind regards,
Stefan

As mentioned in an earlier reply before, GRASS GIS uses for import gdal /ogr. 

so have a look at www.gdal.org and check the 2 drivers for this filegdb format how gdal /ogr handles this format. 

The next step may be :

- ogrinfo your_filegdb_folder to see if your gdal /ogr installation is capable to read this kind of data and if yes, to see which layer(s) are inside this data
