2. Outline  Data types  Geodatabases  Data table joins  Spatial joins  Field calculator  Calculate geometry  ArcCatalog functions 2 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

3. DATA TYPES Lecture 4 3 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

4. Directly loadable data types  dBase (.dbf)  Text with comma (.csv) or tab-separated values (.txt)  Microsoft Access (.mdb)  Microsoft Excel (.xls) 4 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

5. Data table formats  First row must have attribute names with self-documenting labels  (e.g. Pop5To17, Area)  Usual naming convention  first character is a letter  remaining characters be any letters, digits, or the underscore character  All additional rows of a data table need to contain attribute values  None of the rows can be sums, averages, or other statistics of raw data rows 5 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

6. Data table formats  dBase field names  Maximum 10 characters 6 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

7. GEODATABASES Lecture 4 7 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

8. Geodatabase types Manages features and tables inside a database management system  File geodatabase  stores datasets in a folder of files  each dataset a file up to 1 TB in size  can be used across platforms  can be compressed and encrypted for read-only, secure use  ESRI’s recommended choice 8 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

9. Geodatabase types  Personal geodatabase  stores datasets in a Microsoft Access.mdb file  storage sizes between 250 and 500 MB  limited to 2GB  only supported on Windows  ArcSDE geodatabase  stores datasets in a number of optional DBMSs:  IBM DB2, IBM Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL  unlimited size and users 9 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

10. New file geodatabase ArcCatalog 10 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

14. Compact geodatabases  File and personal geodatabases  Reduces size and improves performance  Compact personal geodatabases > 250 MB.  Geodatabases with frequent data entry, deletion, or general editing  Open geodatabases in ArcMap cannot be compacted  remove any layers with a source table or feature class in that database from the TOC 14 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

15. Compress geodatabases  File geodatabases  Once compressed, a feature class or table is read-only and cannot be edited  Compression is ideally suited to mature datasets that do not require further editing  Compressed dataset can be uncompressed to return it to its original, read-write format 15 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

16. View geodatabases  Cannot identify names in Windows Explorer  Must use ArcCatalog 16 GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook
