I'm trying to use ogrinfo on an ESRI personal database mdb file but it
just fails:
ogrinfo -summary c:\temp\MnDOT\P-069_Database.mdb
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `c:\temp\MnDOT\P-069_Database.mdb' with the
following drivers.
-> ESRI Shapefile
-> UK .NTF
-> SDTS
-> TIGER
-> S57
-> MapInfo File
-> DGN
-> VRT
-> AVCBin
-> REC
-> Memory
-> CSV
-> GML
-> ODBC
-> OCI
I'm running this on Windows. Which driver does it use? The docs say it
uses the ODBC driver, but when I look at the ogrodbcdriver.cpp it
requires that the datasource name start with "ODBC:":
OGRDataSource *OGRODBCDriver::Open( const char * pszFilename,
int bUpdate )
{
OGRODBCDataSource *poDS;
if( !EQUALN(pszFilename,"ODBC:",5) )
return NULL;
I've tried prefixing with ODBC: but this fails too.
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Thanks,
Todd.
