I've been struggling for the last two days to get QGIS 3.12 running on macOS Catalina to open ESRI Geodatabase (GDB) files. I've tried using OpenFileGDB with no luck - I just get the following error "Invalid Data Source: /Users/xxxx/Documents/GIS/1. Geology/Australia/National/1M Geology - SHP/geodatabase/geology_1M.gdb is not a valid or recognized data source." I've tried with multiple different GDB files with the same error message. I've also tried Mark Egge's solution for Mojave Installing File Geodatabase (*.gdb) support in QGIS? with no success - Steps 1-3 work ok but when I run ogrinfo --formats FileGDB doesn't appear. Any thoughts?

  • Download some .gdb from the GDAL test suite https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/tree/master/autotest/ogr/data/filegdb. Does your QGIS open them with the OpenFileGDB driver? – user30184 May 28 '20 at 08:23
  • I downloaded them and my QGIs opens them all with no issue – Peter Caristo May 29 '20 at 01:08
  • It probably means that your geodatabases are somehow different but without a sample it is hard to say in which way. I believe that compressed geodatabases are not supported nor geodatabases with raster data. – user30184 May 29 '20 at 06:08
  • After some digging, it looks like the Geodatabase are compressed - thanks for the pointer. – Peter Caristo Jun 01 '20 at 00:36
