[Qgis-user] ArcGis mdb file

[Agustin Lobo]

I've also followed directions in http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgeo.html
and I'm able to list the layers
of the mdb Personal GeoDatabase:

alobo at alobo-laptop:/usr/bin$ ogrinfo PGeo:sample_pgeo
ERROR 1: importFromWKT() failed on SRS 'PROJCS["WGS_'.

1: rios_puntos
2: usos_puntos
3: territorio_puntos
4: gps_puntos_5
5: gps_puntos_4
6: gps_puntos_3
7: gps_puntos_2
8: gps_puntos_1
9: rios_lineas
10: transectos_puntos
11: territorio_poligonos

(I'm using Ubuntu hardy)

But:
1. Do we have to manually modify the personal .odbc.ini file
each time we have to access one of these mdb files?
(I do agree this is rather for the gdal list, but also of interest here, 
I think)
2. Most important: I understand there is no current way to access these
mdb Personal Geodatabase through QGIS itself, am I wrong?

Thanks!
