read.gdbtable: Read Tables From ESRI Geodatabases

In nstauffer/dima.tools: Reading, Manipulating, Analyzing, and Visualizing Data from Copies of the Database for Inventory, Monitoring, and Assessment (DIMA)

Description

A workaround using gdalUtils::ogr2ogr() and foreign::read.dbf() to read tables without geometry from ESRI geodatabases into R environments as data frames.

Usage

read.gdbtable(dsn, tablename, overwrite = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

dsn	Character string. The full filepath and filename (including file extension) of the geodatabase containing the table of interest.
tablename	Character string. The exact name of the table in the file geodatabase being read in.
overwrite	Logical. If TRUE then the intermediate step of writing the table to a temporary file as an ESRI shapefile can overwrite an existing shapefile if they share a filepath and filename. Defaults to TRUE.
verbose	Logical. Passed to gdalUtils::ogr2ogr(verbose). Verbose mode can be very helpful for troubleshooting. Defaults to FALSE.
