[postgis-users] ESRI GDB format into PostGIS

[Simon Greener]

Frank and Piotr,

Yes, Manifold has reverse-engineered Personal and Enterprise GeoDatabases. DOn't know how well. 

Type "GeoDatabase" into Search in the Manifold Help.

But, the way it is done is that one uses Tools>Database Console tto go to the database (eg Access .mdb) file that holds the
geodata. When Manifold opens it it will recognise the ESRI crap and allow you to import/link to it.

regards
Simon
