In QGIS 2.2.0, while adding vector layer, 'ESRI FileGDB' option was missing under Source-Type, refer the attached screenshot.In this case, how can I attach a file GDB in QGIS 2.2.0?

If you have followed these instructions:

File Geodatabase (*.gdb) support in QGIS?

you should be able to load the gdb directory (and layer) in the dataset text box.

  • Interesting, I've installed QGIS on the machine with ArcGIS installed and haven't done any additional configuration. I have fileGDB option enabled by default. How come? – Alex Tereshenkov Mar 07 '14 at 13:25
  • @Alex Tereshenkov - Qgis can read the GDB format if only GDAL/OGR libraries are configurated/compiled to read the GDB API that must be installed and also made available. So I think in your case both things are true. – MickyInTheSky Mar 11 '14 at 12:36
  • yeah, probably these components were installed automatically with ArcGIS Desktop installation. Thanks for letting me know! – Alex Tereshenkov Mar 11 '14 at 13:36

    I checked your suggestion.

    (1) During installation using QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.2.0-1-Setup-x86.exe, there is no such option was available to select/enable gdb components.

    (2) After installation, while adding vector layer using the 'source-type' value as 'UK.NTF2' and a fileGDB as dataset, It shows an error message 'Invalid data source'.

    How to fix this issue?
