Not able to read GDB database file..

Database file link - http://fargo.nserl.purdue.edu/RUSLE2_ftp/NRCS_Base_Database/Latest%20Base%20Database%20and%20Updates/

Database file name - BASE_NRCS_MOSES_03302016.zip

Actually my objective is just to read gdb file and transfer its data to postgres database.

I can't open that GDB with ArcMap. Maybe the file is corrupted?

 

 


That zipped file has got a .gdb file not a Geodatabase folder with many files inside

also if you open the .gdb file with notepad ++ the first part is:

** This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database **

Which is not a good sign as it means that you have a SQLite database with gdb file type so may not work at all.


It seems that the *.gdb file is created with a format specific to an application called "RUSLE2". I don't think FME supports it unfortunately.

I found a web site of the application. Hope this helps.

your file isn't a gdb database. Generally, the GDB database is a folder that contains many files.

I try to open your file with ARCMAP without succes.

Your problem is not FME, but is your coppuped gdb file.
