I use it in tandem with file geodatabases as well as the geopackage format. Esri also has started to support both formats, so it's easy to move data between them.<br><br>Have a look here:<br><a href="http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/" target="_blank">http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/</a><br><a href="http://www.geopackage.org/" target="_blank">http://www.geopackage.org/</a><br><a href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//019v0000001w000000" target="_blank">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//019v0000001w000000</a><br><a href="http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/04/14/support-for-ogc-geopackages-in-arcgis/" target="_blank">http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/04/14/support-for-ogc-geopackages-in-arcgis/</a><br><br>James<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 12:44:32 -0400<br>From: jbsloop@uncg.edu<br>To: Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>Subject: [Qgis-user] File Geodatabases<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Hello To All,</div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;">I am still pretty new at using QGIS.
