Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase

[armin . konrad]

Thank you for your answers! It worked as you suggested. I filtered the 
gdb database to the objects that I needed and saved them as shape.file. 
Afterwards I could delete the database in the project and work with the 
shape file instead with reasonable speed.

Thanks again
Armin

The only way I am aware of, is to load the .gdb file, select the
layer(s) you want and then use the save-as option to save out as a
shapefile.

You can right click a layer and go to filter and enter an expression to
filter out unwanted objects. From there save as will save to a shapefile,
among other other formats, that will only be the items defined by the
filter. You can also use a select expression and in the save as dialog
select save only selected features
Does that help?.

Hi,
I have opend an ESRI .gdb database (directory) in an qgis project. The
mayor .gdbtable-file has a size of about 3.5 GB and contains about 18.000
objects (polygons). It is rather awkward to work with such a database to say
the least since I need only 2 to 3 objects at a time.
I wonder, is there a way to select certain objects by filtering and
convert them selectively to a shape file or to copy them to a new database?

Thanks you for suggestions.
