Re: [gdal-dev] FGDB Opening Sample File
There seems to be some misunderstandings about Relationship Classes, so I may as well explain. Relationship Classes come in two types 1.- Simple Relationship Classes 2.- Attributed Relationship Classes Conceptually, they just relate one (or more) column(s) in one field to another column(s) in another table. Besides also including cardinality information, and enforcing referential integrity (when the underlying db doesn't support it), they are used inside ArcGIS for display and editing purposes. The fact that the may or may not have domains associated with them is orthogonal to this discussion. For the first kind (simple), they only exist in metadata tables - they don't map to any physical tables on the db and thus should not be mapped to anything inside OGR. For the second kind (attributed), they do refer to actual non-spatial tables on the db - we could map those to a non-spatial OGR table. So bug #1 is skip simple relationship classes and enhancement #2 is map attributed relationship classes to OGR non-spatial tables. As far as TestData.gdb, none of the ESRI samples use it and just calling open through the FileGDB API on it, fails, so it is corrupted or a bug in the FileGDB beta 3 API - nothing that we can do about that. The error returned, -2147467259 is E_FAIL (like you diagnosed earlier Paul), and it is the most generic kind of COM Error... most of the ESRI code relies on custom COM errors, but every once in awhile, those errors are not propagated down the stack and the fall back when no custom error is detected is E_FAIL. So basically, it just means error - that is all I can tell you sorry. - Ragi Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:21:50 -0500 From: Marius Jigmond mariusjigm...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] FGDB Opening Sample File To: Paul Ramsey pram...@opengeo.org Cc: gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org Message-ID: blu0-smtp1528e899a080af411751872b2...@phx.gbl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 They are links between tables.

RE: [gdal-dev] FGDB Opening Sample File
FWIW, the error code -2147467259 is probably a Microsoft HRESULT. In hex, it is 0x80004005, which is a generic access is denied error. Not that this is much of a clue about what is going on. You could check for some kind of permissions or access problem...

They are links between tables. Usually, between the attribute table of a feature class and a simple (non-spatial, as Mike said) table. But you can relate any kind of attribute tables. -marius On Thu, 2011-04-28 at 14:30 -0700, Paul Ramsey wrote: Are they tables or links between tables?
