[GIS] Does ArcGIS for Desktop support SpatiaLite

arcgis-desktopspatial-databasespatialite

SpatiaLite is playing an increasing role in my organization.

As it stood in 2012, using SpatiaLite alongside ArcGIS Desktop required an amount of importing and exporting of data that was not always trivial.

Outside of products such as the Data Interoperability Extension or FME, what other options are there for SpatiaLite support in ArcGIS for Desktop?

Best Answer

I started an open source GDAL/OGR ArcGIS plugin project this weekend that gives read support to spatialite and any other OGR vector data source like Google Fusion Tables.

I have it working locally reading spatialite and will cleanup and push the rest of changes this coming Friday. I hope you find it useful.

Update 1:

OK, got it working today. The following is a spatialite file being read from ArcGIS 10.1 natively.

Add data dialog spatialite read from ArcGIS

Since it uses GDAL/OGR, it doesn't just read spatialite but it also adds support to a gazzilion other formats.

For example, this screenshot is a mix of reading S57 ENC files with spatialite:

If you want to test the binaries, that would be helpful, so I can add them for anyone else.
