[gdal-dev] OGR: How to access Coded Value Domains in File Geodatabases?

[Mike Toews]

Hi Stefan,

I found this issue too and wrote an enhancement ticket:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5741

The only workaround appears to be lots of work. The GDB_Items table
(a00000004.gdbtable) can be read with OGR, where the code/value pairs
are in attributes of XML code, which can be used to either hash the
values or do an SQL JOIN.
