[postgis-users] ESRI GDB format into PostGIS

[Ben Madin]

G'day all,

As part of a research project I have generously been sent a copy of  
state road networks, in a NETWORK.gdb folder, with about 180 files  
inside it.

I (mistakenly) thought this was something I could import into PostGIS  
using shp2pgsql (No) or ogr2ogr (using the PGeo Driver, but if it is I  
can't find the appropriate file to do it with... trying

$ ogrinfo NETWORK.gdb/gdb

I just get
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `NETWORK.gdb/gdb' with the following drivers.
  -> GRASS
  -> ESRI Shapefile
  -> MapInfo File
  -> UK .NTF
  -> SDTS
  -> TIGER
  -> S57
  -> DGN
  -> VRT
  -> REC
  -> Memory
  -> BNA
  -> CSV
  -> GML
  -> GPX
  -> KML
  -> GeoJSON
  -> Interlis 1
  -> Interlis 2
  -> GMT
  -> SQLite
  -> DODS
  -> ODBC
  -> PGeo
  -> OGDI
  -> PostgreSQL
  -> MySQL
  -> XPlane
  -> AVCBin
  -> AVCE00
  -> Geoconcept


Is this another type of geodatabase... have I missed something? I  
don't seem to be able to open it with uDig or QGIS. I don't have any  
ESRI products (and I'm a student working remotely!) Is my only option  
to go back on bended knee and ask if they can export the data in a  
different format (I don't want to stretch a favour here - they say  
they only provide the data in their own format)

cheers

Ben
