The fdoogr provider is a bridge to the [http://gdal.osgeo.org/ogr/index.html OGR] data access library from within FDO.  Traian Stanev is the primary author of this provider.  Questions about the provider may asked on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/fdo-users fdo users mailing list].

== Use with Personal GDB ==

First create a System-ODBC connection to the MDB file in the Windows ODBC administrator.  E.g. 'pgeo_somerset'.
