Description

Accessing a FileGDB (via ESRI-FileGDB driver) seems to be broken with a FileGDB created by newer ArcGIS-versions (10.3+).
FileGDBs createdare usable.

Maybe this issue is caused by ESRI due to a version-upgrade of FileGDB-API-dll from 1.3 to 1.4?
The included .dll in OSGeo4W-Installation is version 1.3.

Could you provide an example file?

#3 Updated by Benjamin Schepers almost 9 years ago

ERROR messsage was: "... infrastructure_1.gdb is not a valid or recognized data source."

Due to our ArcGIS-Update from 10.1 to 10.3, I concluded, that this was the reason for above error, moreover the file was readable in a crosscheck by self compiled GDAL/OGR on Linux with FileGDB-DLL 1.4 - this was misleading me!

I found the error by myself (two nearly identic GDBs attached, only difference is the layers "buildings" CRS ):
Version1 has a "custom" Authority/CRS in ESRIs point of view - the CRS-Parameters are definitely OK, but CRS-Authority/-ID is not explicitely declared as EPSG/WKID:25832

In Version2 I reassigned the CRS with ArcCatalog to EPSG/WKID:25832 and it worked well with QGIS.

So should we close this bug and open a new one to "implement" a more specific / not misleading error-message, ie. that there was an unknown CRS?
What about generally updating FileGDB-API to ist newest version 1.4?
Sorry for the confusion :-D

This is probably a problem with your local gdal/ogr driver. I can open both files in master and 2.8 in Windows and Linux.

it opens fine also here (both Linux and Win, the latter with the open driver).
