Error reading features in FileGDB, missing file

[jlarouche]

Hi,

I'm trying to read this FileGDB ​http://www.va.gov/vetdata/docs/Maps/VA_Facilities.zip.

Once unzipped, when I run ogrinfo -so -al VAFacilitiesFY14Q1_20140904.gdb

This is the result I get

Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `VAFacilitiesFY14Q1_20140904.gdb'
      using driver `OpenFileGDB' successful.

    AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]

The most interesting part is:

Warning 1: VAFacilitiesFY14Q1_20140904.gdb/a0000000a.gdbtablx could not be found. Trying to guess feature locations, but this might fail or return incorrect results
ERROR 1: Error occured in filegdbtable.cpp at line 654

a0000000a.gdbtablx is not present, but I assume the FileGDB was exported correctly.

Any idea why this is happening?

This is happening because OGR is trying to open the file with the OpenFileGDB driver instead of using the SDK.

It can be bypassed by using OGR_SKIP=OpenFileGDB ogrinfo -ro -al VAFaciltiesFY14Q1/VAFacilitiesFY14Q1_20140904.gdb.
