<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm trying to convert an ESRI Personal GeoDatabase (.mdb) file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.) The documentation (<a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgeo.html">http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgeo.html</a>) says that </div>
<div>"On Windows, no ODBC DSN is required." But given bahnhoefe.shp (.dbf/.shx) </div>
<div>on Windows: When I issue </div>
<div> </div>
<div> ogrinfo PGeo:bahnhoefe bahnhoefe</div>
<div> </div>
<div>following error is produced (yes, 2 times):</div>
<div> </div>
<div> ERROR 1: Unable to initialize ODBC connection to DSN for bahnhoefe,<br> [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default </div>
<div> driver specified<br> ERROR 1: Unable to initialize ODBC connection to DSN for bahnhoefe,<br> [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default </div>
<div> driver specified</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.) Is it difficult to adapt the MDB reader and make it standalone, i.e. not depend on </div>
<div>ODBC but with a binary parser? This would also help linux users who now are obliged </div>
<div>to install unixODBC and MDB Tools.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any ideas?</div>
<div>Stefan</div>
