GDAL/OGR drivers have a short name and a long name. For OpenFileGDB, the
long name is ESRI FileGDB, the short name or code is OpenFileGDB. See
http://gdal.org/ogr_formats.html

The short names are sometimes a bit cryptic, the long names more
informative, e.g. PGeo as code for ESRI Personal GeoDatabase or GPKG as
code for GeoPackage.
