Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases

Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases

<p>An all-in-one start-up kit to author, manage, and administer ArcGIS geodatabases</p> <p><b>Overview</b></p> <ul> <li>Covers the basics of building Geodatabases, using ArcGIS, from scratch</li> <li>Model the Geodatabase to an optimal state using the various optimization techniques</li> <li>Packed with real-world examples showcasing ArcGIS Geodatabase to build mapping applications in web, desktop, and mobile </li> </ul> <p><b>In Detail</b></p> <p>ArcGIS is an industry standard for geospatial development and management. A geodatabase is the database used to store and manage the spatial data.</p> <p>Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases offers a comprehensive working and practical experience for readers who are interested in knowing about ArcGIS. The initial chapters guide you through authoring geodatabases and creating a geodatabase schema and datasets. Then, the book focuses extensively on modeling and optimizing geodatabases.</p> <p>Finally, you will be able to work comfortably with datasets, annotations, and relationship classes, making it easier to migrate from a legacy database to an ArcGIS geodatabase.</p> <p><b>What you will learn from this book</b></p> <ul> <li>Explore the benefits of geodatabases with practical illustrations</li> <li>Work with geodatabase datasets covering feature classes, tables, relationship classes, coverage, and annotations</li> <li>Model your geodatabase by creating a sturdy design that can sustain large edits and decrease maintenance</li> <li>Discover various tools to optimize queries and response time, which will help you to fine-tune your geodatabase</li> <li>Utilize Python scripting to author your geodatabase programmatically</li> <li>Set up and configure a full-fledged networked enterprise geodatabase using ArcSDE technology</li> <li>Add programming flavors to your geodatabase using Python</li> </ul> <p><b>Approach</b></p> <p>This is a solution-based book, showcasing the real power of ArcGIS Geodatabase by following a real-world, example-based approach</p> <p><b>Who this book is written for</b></p> <p>This book is aimed at geospatial developers who want to work with ArcGIS geodatabases as well as manage them. Having knowledge of building a geodatabase from scratch isn't a must; Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases is ideal for those who want to use ArcGIS geodatabase for the first time, or for those who want to migrate from their existing legacy database to a geodatabase.</p>
