Hi all,
I've been trying to get ogrinfo to read some MS Access database
(.accdb) files so I can link them to some shapefiles. After some
digging, I've found that to get ogrinfo to read them, I need to:
1. Rename the .accdb to .mdb
2. Install the MS Access Database Engine Redistributable, such as
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
3. Specify the driver string for the 64-bit driver (I'm using Windows 7
64-bit and OSGeo4W 64-bit):
--config MDB_DRIVER_TEMPLATE "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=%s"
4. Use an explicit path to the file (note the .\ or the full path is
required):
ogrinfo.exe --config MDB_DRIVER_TEMPLATE "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=%s" .\t_408088.mdb
just setting the current dir and specifying "t_408088.mdb" does not work.
I consider 1. and 4. above to be functionality issues/bugs (and 3. is a
documentation opportunity). I see that there was a related issue (and a
fix) to use the 64-bit driver https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5594
Any comments before I file my bug reports?
