read ESRI file geodatabase feature classes
A recent announcement as a follow up to this: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/geodatabase/archive/2010/12/13/File-Geodatabase-API-details.aspx Still requires ESRI software, but will allow some other projects to read the format if ArcRequired is available. Cheers, Mike.

No there is no open software to read ESRI "file geodatabases" (the .gdb ones).
If it's not .gdb but .mdb ("personal geodatabase", built on Microsoft
Access database) then you can read it with generic tools (such as
RODBC package) or with an appropriate build of GDAL as part of the
rgdal package.

Hello- Does anyone know if R can read in ESRI file geodatabase feature classes, directly from the file geodatabase? I currently have to export the data out of Arc, to a csv file, then read the csv file. I'd like to bypass this step and read directly from the file geodatabase. Thanks for your help. -al
