| Apr 12 at 15:39 | comment | added | Vince | If the real question is about populating tables in the created file geodatabase (feature classes and rasters), then that should be the focus of the Question. Note that neither CSV files nor raster files are permitted in a FGDB -- the act of loading them changes the data into tables (which are only readable with tools that are file geodatabase aware, and even the Esri FGBD DLL doesn't support rasters). One exception is mosaic datasets, which reference the GeoTIFFs on disk where they reside. | |

| Apr 12 at 12:23 | comment | added | user30184 | The raster access with GDAL is read-only gdal.org/drivers/raster/openfilegdb.html#raster-openfilegdb. Are you forced to use some special ESRI tools, or could you just forget filegeodatabase and use free and open format like GeoPackage instead? | |

| Apr 12 at 12:03 | comment | added | amin13afa | You're right, geodatabase is a directory, I will also edit it in my question text. But my main question is about creating a geodatabase whose content is some CSV files, and raster files together with point and polygon shape files. | |
| Apr 12 at 11:51 | comment | added | Vince | "File geodatabase" isn't a file, it's a directory with scores to thousands of files. Creating a file geodatabase is trivial, and just gets you an empty container. | |
