I found a perfect answer for my question in a post I found in Alex Tereshenkov's blog. The post contains a python script for printing the FGDB's domains in python interpreter:
from __future__ import print_function
import json
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import ogr
gdb_path = r'C:\GIS\data\Adv.gdb'
ds = ogr.Open(gdb_path)
res = ds.ExecuteSQL('select * from GDB_Items')
res.CommitTransaction()
for i in xrange(0, res.GetFeatureCount()):
item = json.loads(
res.GetNextFeature().ExportToJson())['properties']['Definition']
if item:
xml = ET.fromstring(item)
if xml.tag == 'GPCodedValueDomain2':
print(xml.find('DomainName').text)
print(xml.find('Description').text)
print(xml.find('FieldType').text)
for table in xml.iter('CodedValues'):
for child in table:
print(child.find('Code').text, child.find('Name').text)
print()
if xml.tag == 'GPRangeDomain2':
print(xml.find('DomainName').text)
print(xml.find('Description').text)
print(xml.find('FieldType').text)
print(xml.find('MinValue').text)
print(xml.find('MaxValue').text)
# Domain1
# Desc1
# esriFieldTypeString
# a aa
# b bb
# Domain2
# Desc2
# esriFieldTypeInteger
# 1 aa
# 2 bb
# 3 cc
# Domain3
# Desc3
# esriFieldTypeInteger
# 0
# 100
make sure you've got python's ogr package installed.
Furthermore, as I explored his blog, I found a more encompassing tool he made for exploring ESRI GDB's properties. This tool makes an HTML report of the GDB's properties. Make sure you follow his instructions in the tool's repository
