Re: [Qgis-user] Unable to open some LISTdata open data ESRI File Geodatabases
*JOLLY, Peter* /Thu Dec 15 14:49:47 PST 2022/ Maybe these are raster gdb datasets? How can I tell if that is the case? It seems they contain raster as indicated in the metadata [1] and AFAIK the GDAL File Geodatabase drivers are not capable of raster reading and writing (ESRI File Geodatabase is a proprietary format). Is there any way the open a raster gdb other than with ESRI software? You may be able to extract them using ArcRasterRescure [2]. It is the result of an effort to reverse engineer the ESRI File Geodatabase raster format. I can open gdb files in QGIS from LISTdata that are included as part of a set with shapefile and MapInfo tab files (e.g. in the "Tasmanian Irrigation Irrigation District" dataset). I'm guessing that is because these are vector gdb files? Yes. I'm running QGIS 3.10.6 ltr on Windows 10 64-bit (yes I know it's not the latest ltr, but it was the most recent "portable" build I have been able to find and run successfully). You can find more up to date QGIS portable versions at [3]. Just download one of the archives, extract it in a folder and launch qgis-grass.bat. Best regards.

Re: [Qgis-user] Unable to open some LISTdata open data ESRI File Geodatabases
Hi Peter, yes I confirm this dataset is a raster gdb. I can sort-of open it with my QGIS + GDAL master build using the OpenFileGDB driver, but you'll see the raster tables in a raw unusable way. For example layers like fras_blk_NCH_ES_WATER_LOGGING_HAZARD which contains the tiles as compressed data in a BLOB column. You could try the https://github.com/r-barnes/ArcRasterRescue utility to convert into GeoTIFF You could also kindly or not kindly suggest your administration to not use proprietary formats for open data whereas thereare so many open alternatives, like GeoTIFF... Small "advertizing": for those interesting, there's a funding opportunity to develop a GDAL open source raster driver to be able to read filegdb rasters that QGIS could use to open directly such files. Contact me off-list if interested.
