File geodatabase to postgis convertor
Project description
Python package providing functionality for converting esri file geodatabase to postgresql/postgis. The tool is solving the problem related to geodatabase’s subtypes, domains and relationships classes by creating Indexes and foreign key constraints among the feature classes’ tables, data tables and lookup tables in the target postgresql database. There is no provision though for GDAL/OGR options in this initial release but probably it will be in the next releases.
- Note:
This library requires GDAL/OGR libraries and ESRI ArcGIS to be installed in the system.
Installation
This package should be installed only on windows systems because of ArcGIS (Arcpy) limitation.
Install required packages:
pip install numpy>=1.12.0 pip install psycopg2>=2.6.2 pip install pyyaml>=3.12 pip install archook==1.1.0
Install fgdb2postgis:
pip install fgdb2postgis
- Note:
It does not automatically install GDAL/OGR libraries or ESRI ArcGIS in your system. You can install GDAL/OGR from OSGeo4W or use the installation of QGIS
Usage
Create a yaml file mapping the file geodatabase’s feature datasets, feature classes and tables to postgresql’s schemas. It is required that the yaml file have the same name with the file geodatabase with the extension .yaml
Example:
filegdb: sample.gdb yaml: sample.gdb.yaml
- Note:
The Yaml file should be located in the same folder with the file geodatabase.
Yaml file example:
Schemas: - Administrative - Epidemiology - Radioactivity - Seismic FeatureDatasets: Epidemiology: - Epidemiology Radioactivity: - Radioactivity Seismic: - Seismic FeatureClasses: Administrative: - sectors - governorates - sub_sectors Tables: Epidemiology: - EpidemiologyTS - EpidemiologyTST Radioactivity: - RadiationTS - RadiationTST Seismic: - EarthquakeTS - SeismicTST
- Schemas:
The schemas to be created in the target postgis database.
- FeatureDatasets:
Mapping of the geodatabase’s feature datasets to the schemas of the target postgis database
- FeatureClasses:
Mapping of the geodatabase’s feature classes that do not belong to any feature dataset to the schemas of the target postgis database
- Tables:
Mapping of the geodatabase’s tables to the schemas of target postgis database
Command line options:
fgdb2postgis -h fgdb2postgis -f filegdb -p postgis --host=host --port=port --user=user --password=password
Restrictions
DO NOT apply this tool in a production postgis database!
The target postgis database should exists and be EMPTY.
The tool will OVERWRITE any tables having the same name with the tables in the file geodatabase.
