[gdal-dev] FileGDB feature datasets

[Eric Goddard]

I've been able to open feature classes within datasets, and there is
an option to specify the feature dataset under the layer creation
options (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_filegdb.html). It might be a
custom projection issue -- the FileGDB driver doesn't support custom
projections, and if one is present then none of the features in the
geodatabase can be read. There was a similar post on the QGIS mailing
list: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Problem-opening-GDB-v-10-1-using-QGIS-td5131380.html#a5133625

They also have data divided into feature datasets within the GDB, so it sounds like GDAL can't acces the dataset groups.  Unless I'm missing an option (the GDAL docs for the FileGDB format don't mention datasets)?
