Esri Geodatabase Formats

The Geodatabase reader and writer modules allow FME to store data in and retrieve data from Esri’s Geodatabase.

See Esri Geodatabase Quick Facts for information about individual Geodatabase formats.

FME 32-bit Windows Support

Starting with FME 2022, FME will support 64-bit Windows only.

• Personal Geodatabase: We recommend migrating to File Geodatabase if possible; however, an updated Personal Geodatabase Reader is available in 64-bit FME 2022.0.
• All other Esri formats dependent on an Esri application (including File Geodatabase and Enterprise Geodatabase): We recommend installing ArcGIS Pro (64-bit), ArcGIS for Server, or ArcGIS for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit).
