[Qgis-user] How to open ESRI geodatabase in QGIS 1.8 and Gdal 1.9 on Ubuntu?

[Johan Nilsson]

Peter. I think Add-vector-->Database-->ESRI personal geodatabase, are just
Personal Geodatabase, aka a JET-db or MS-access-database? ESRIs File
database are what ESRI recommend to use, not the MS-Access typ of db
because of bad preformance add a size limit of 1GB.

I stilll try to understand what I need to do with GDAL and the
ESRI-FileGDB... I need to uninstall the old GDAL things and stuff? Don't
what to break the system...

Cheers
