FME can store data in and retrieve data from Esri Mobile Geodatabase.
A mobile geodatabase (.geodatabase) is a collection of various types of GIS datasets contained in a single file on disk that can store, query, and manage spatial and nonspatial data.
Mobile geodatabases contain system tables, indexes, triggers, and views that provide geodatabase functionality to work with simple features such as point, multipoint, multipatch, polygon, line geometries, and true curves.
See Esri Mobile Geodatabase Quick Facts for information.
FME supports a range of Geodatabase types. For detailed information about Geodatabases, see the Esri Geodatabase Overview.
Esri Geodatabase Types
A geodatabase is a container used to hold a collection of datasets. There are different types of geodatabases:
File Geodatabases
A file geodatabase is stored as multiple files in a folder with a .gdb extension. Each dataset is contained in a single file.
