[Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase

[armin.konrad at email.de]

Thank you for your answers! It worked as you suggested. I filtered the 
gdb database to the objects that I needed and saved them as shape.file. 
Afterwards I could delete the database in the project and work with the 
shape file instead with reasonable speed.
Thanks again
Armin
