[Qgis-user] Fwd: "Normal" mdb support possible for "normal" people?

[Johan Nilsson]

According to this, ERSI recommend file geodatabase over personal geodatabas
and arcsde are for multiuser system and need additional software and
licenes, I tthink.
So If you only have Arcgis they recommend file database och personal
geodatabase, not ArcSDE. I think.
