[Freegis-list] personal geodatabase

[Ramadass, Shylaja]

I've tried  "mdb2shapefile". It converts a mdb with only attributes to a dbf
file.  I'm interested in the geometry information. Also, "mdb2shapefile"
does not take personal geodatabase mdb as input.

Thanks,
Shylaja.

I haven't looked extensively but I haven't seen much or tried any of it.
If you have access to ArcInfo 8.x, then you can export the various layers
as shapefiles...there tends to be much more support for converting things
too and from shapefile.

from the FreeGIS web page you can also find "mdb2shapefile", which also
claims to support geodatabase to shapefile conversion but I haven't used
it.

Also, as you can find in the freegis archive:

"Note that FME from Safe Software includes support for Geodatabase, but of
course that's not free."

FYI, that the software is not Free (open) rather than not free (no cost),
you can in fact download a demo version of FME, though I've never used it
and don't know how well it works or what file formats the demo version
supports.

Are there any free utilities for converting ESRI's geodatabase format
(.mdb)
to other formats, especially to Intergraph GeoMedia Access warehouse
format?


Thanks,
Shylaja
