[gdal-dev] FileGDB OGR driver test

[Ragi Burhum]

Hello list,

I am trying to test a new version of the FileGDB driver for OGR, but I lack
enough FileGDBs to test :)
If you have an *ArcGIS 10* FileGDB and would like to test the FileGDB driver
(and report back), feel free to grab a gdal-trunk binary I made for Windows.

All I want to know is if it works with polygons and lines, so feel free to
test it with those types.

Known issues with build / FileGDB driver

- (driver issue) blobs and date fields are not handled at all
- (driver issue) read-only (for now)
- (build issue) I didn't include geos (means spatial operations will be
bounding-box based)
- (build issue) I didn't include the proj libraries (means a change of
coordinate system will not work)

you can use it like this:

//create kml from FileGDB class
ogr2ogr -f "KML" out2.kml
C:\Users\rburhum\Desktop\FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0beta3\samples\data\ExecuteSQL.gdb
"Cities"

//create shapefile
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" myshape.shp
C:\Users\rburhum\Desktop\FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0beta3\samples\data\ExecuteSQL.gdb
"Cities"

You can find the test binaries at
