I'm not sure you can read .gdb with a DBI interface, but you can with GDAL; see https://github.com/mdsumner/lazysf from @mdsumner for a shot at this (using the query
argument in sf::read_sf
).
You can use dbConnect
with GDB - lazysf()
is a frontend - but fwiw it's not a "real database" from GDAL's perspective, it works through virtual translation, so GDAL's specials FID, OGR_GEOMETRY etc are available, there's no native SQL to pass through.
It would be great to be able to use a spatial query based on an
sf
object on a.gdb
database without reading the whole thing from disk.
