enterprise geodatabase - Is it possible to connect to ArcSDE using QGIS?


Is anyone aware of any plugins, or any other way to connect and view data from an ArcSDE database in QGIS desktop?



Answer



It may be possible to build a bridge through GDAL/OGR's ArcSDE driver. It's not compiled in by default and needs some pieces of the ESRI SDE C API to connect. So to build this driver you need to have a copy of the SDE C API developer kit from ESRI. If memory serves, there is a pre-compiled sde driver floating around that can use ArcInfo Workstation installed on the local machine in place of the SDK.
