[Qgis-user] Lookup Tables in File GDB?

[Justin Robinson]

Hi Michael,

That's probably GDAL's openFileGDB driver and it's interaction with Esri's
Coded Domains, there's an open ticket at
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5741

It doesn't sound like there was any resolution to it based on other threads
(
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-OGR-How-to-access-Coded-Value-Domains-in-File-Geodatabases-td5180262.html
) either, it's in a GDB_Items table in the geodatabase and isn't easy to
access without some amount of work.

Not exactly an answer, but more info, cheers,

Justin
