[OSGeo-Discuss] RE: ESRI File Geodatabase

[karsten vennemann]

Hi Pablo,

No its not (yet) possible. The reason is that ESRI did not get their stuff
together to go ahead and publish the format specs (which they indicated they
would over two years ago now). You can use ESRI personal geodatabase (MS
access based) in ogr/gdal if support is compiled with it (mostly works on
windows, but not likely on Linux 64 bit systems)
Cheers
