I have a zip file that I got from the City department of information technology. Unzipped, it is a directory called DOITT_ZIP_CODE_01_29JUL2009.gdb
containing a bunch of .gdbtable
and .gdbtablex
files. I'm not super seasoned in GIS but I'm pretty sure I ought to be able to open this in QGIS. I can't figure out a combination of parameters that will let me open it, however.
I really just need to get the data out, so I'd be happy to use something like GDB Flee but it can't seem to read the .zip and the .gdb is a directory.
Note: These instructions (Migrating geodatabase data into PostGIS without Esri apps?) suggest I could use a command line tool, ogr2ogr
but mine doesn't seem to have FileGDB support.
What is my next step?

A couple things need to happen here:
There are some instructions on how to get FileGDB support in GDAL either from Building FGDB support for GDAL 1.10 on Ubuntu or install gdal with file gdb and spatialite support on ubuntu
