[Qgis-user] Opening Raster from ESRI .GDB

2014-07-24 Thread Michael Treglia
Hi All, I've Googled around, and it seems like this isn't currently possible, but wanted to check with folks on this list for any solution... A lot of data being produced by agencies is now available only as ESRI .gdb files. A dataset I'm particularly interested in working with is a gridded soil

Hi Even, Thanks a lot for the quick response - I really appreciate your work in dealing with the GDB files! That sounds great! Let me know if you need more data examples and such. Just a quick question - .gdb is not typically forward and backward compatible across Arc versions, right? [I've

Sorta, there are 2 drivers for GDB. The open GDB that Even has been working on and the official ESRI GDB api. The ESRI GDB api and Arc instance are not backwards compatible, once you upgrade a gdb to the latest it only works with the latest and there's often no way to write an older variant. The

Even, I believe that you meant that the ESRI FileGDB driver can only read files created by ArcGIS 10.0 or higher. Their driver does not work for 9.x files if I remember correctly. David. On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 3:19 PM, Even Rouault even.roua...@mines-paris.org wrote: Le jeudi 24 juillet

Even and Alex, Thanks! That definitely clarifies some things. I just tried two GDB files with ESRI FileGDB and OpenFileGDB in QGIS. One .gdb file worked fine with both ESRI FileGDB and OpenFileGDB. The other didn't work with either. I don't know what Arc version the latter was created in or
