Geodatabase Enhancements

ArcGIS 9.2 Geodatabase • Extended Geodatabase models – File-based, MS SQL Express-based • High Precision Storage (64 bit) • Spatial reference • Vertical coordinate systems • Enhanced Transaction Model – History – Replication • Misc. Improvements

Three kinds of Geodatabases

1. Personal Geodatabase

Stored in Access. 2 GB Limit, but effective size is 250 to 500 MB. Windows only. Single editor and a few readers. Legacy support.

2. File

Stored in file folder. Up to 1 TB per dataset. Any platform.

Geodatabase

Single editor and a few readers. Recommended.

3. ArcSDE

Stored in RDBMS (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Informix).

Geodatabase

Uses ArcSDE. Versioning and Multi-user Support. Recommended.

File-based Geodatabases • Single user (no replication, versioning, or history) • Better then shapefiles / Access (pGDB) – Supports all features of geodatabase – – – –

(raster, vector, terrain, annotation, etc.) Query/draw faster 1+ TB dataset limit, no overall size limit Supports data compression (2:1 with most datasets) Uses a coverage-like directory structure (no INFO directory!)

• Cross platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris) • Access (mdb) based Geodatabases still supported, but not

encouraged • After 9.2 publish API for File Geodatabase

ArcSDE Products • ArcSDE Personal

(SQL Server Express + ArcSDE Direct Connect) – SQL Server Express limited to:

4 GB data, 1 CPU, 1 GB Ram – Limited to 3 concurrent users (1 editor, 2 readers) – Intranet Use ONLY – Simplified Administration – – – –

• ArcSDE Enterprise – Multiple Database Options – Unlimited Users – Internet and Intranet use supported

Pre-9.2 geodatabases

• Pre-9.2 geodatabases use 32-bit integers • Limited to 0 – 2147483645 integers

Pre-9.2 default values

• Spatial domain/precision defaults were useless – Doesn’t fit geographic or projected data

• Conversion tools were better—checked data extents

High precision • 64-bit storage • Actually, it’s 53-bits • Range is 0 to 9007199254740990 • ArcSDE supports it already, ArcGIS couldn’t use

the data • Equivalent to double precision

Upgrading to high precision • Two parts – Upgrade the geodatabase – Upgrade feature dataset/class spatial reference • Will not ‘shake’ the data

Upgrading to high precision • Black = original grid 0.5, 1.0 0.0, 1.0

1.0, 1.0

• Blue = new grid, 4x • Rose = 16x

0.75, 0.75

0.25, 0.75

1.0, 0.5

0.0, 0.5

0.75, 0.25

0.25, 0.25

0.0, 0.0

1.0, 0.0 0.5, 0.0

Tolerance, resolution, and precision

• Tolerance—data accuracy • Resolution—1/precision – In the units of the coordinate system – Storage precision • Precision—number of decimal places – XYUnits

New feature dataset/class wizards

• Completely reworked • Less things are hiding on the last panel – Point/line/polygon – Spatial reference

Vertical coordinate systems • Can define on vector data • Transformations not supported yet • Supports geoid-based and ellipsoid-based heights • Heights/Depths
