geodatabase as ogr datasource

[Ken Lord]

Hi Edwin,

You should be able to use the geodatabase file by using OGR as the
connectiontype and the name of the .mdb file as the connection

Unfortuneatly It seems I deleted my map file that I tested it with, so
I can't give you excactly how I did it, but it did work for me.  I was
using shp2image from the latest FWTools package.

For the connection, try the name of the .mdb followed by a comma,
followed by the layer name ... or layer number as found by using
ogrinfo on the geodatabase.


... Also, a big Thanks to Frank Warmerdam who built the
OGR/mapserver/geodatabase functionality recently,  contracted by a few
of us from the MapServer community.

Cheers,
Ken Lord
