Description

I can not load a Esri personal Geodatabase file into Qgis 3 anymore.

I has already added the following lines to qgis.bat:
set OGR_SKIP=ODBC
set PGEO_DRIVER_TEMPLATE=DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=%%s

I also have QGIS 2.18.17 (LTR) installed on same machine and It still working there.
I installed both from OSGeo

History

#1 Updated by Andrea Giudiceandrea over 6 years ago

It seems that QGIS 3 is now launched directly, not through qgis.bat as was for QGIS 2.18.
Now you need to set the two variables in QGIS Settings panel -> Options | System | Environment.

The names and the values of the variables are:

variable name: OGR_SKIP
value: ODBC

variable name: PGEO_DRIVER_TEMPLATE
value: DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=%s

note that there is only one percent sign in the value of PGEO_DRIVER_TEMPLATE variable.

I am trying to load a ESRI personal Geodatabase in QGIS 3.03 (Windows 10) and it's not working. The personal geodatabase file can be downloaded from this link: https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1997/ofr-97-470/OF97-470K/graphic/data.html
