QST: Trouble reading a large ESRI geodatabase
See original GitHub issueI am trying to read a large ESRI File geodatabase. I know that geopandas can read the particular layer I’m interested in because it successfully loads the other layers in the File Geodatabase with no issues.
However this layer is a large polygon layer containing all building footprints for a major European country. The .read_file method takes extremely long to execute.
How can I reduce the amount of time it takes to read this dataset so that I can perform further analysis on it?

Yeah, so you already discovered that option! 😉 (closing this issue then)
@awa5114 using geopandas, you could also try to read only a subset of the data at a time, if that is possible for your use case. See the docs here about the multiple options for this: https://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/user_guide/io.html#reading-subsets-of-the-data
