ArcGIS Desktop: create personal geotatabases Video Lecture | Way to Learning GIS and ArcGIS - Data & Analytics

hello everyone today I would like to
show you how to create geodatabases and
yeah geodatabases are very interesting
and especially if you would like to
create or you have to administer a
larger more longer-lasting project so
geodatabases helps you to get overview
of your data of the management of the
data and also it is very important to
maybe distribute your data and therefore
geodatabases are the best basis so first
of all we will start with the arc
catalog as you can see we have here
chapter number 40 in there's a folder
called my data there's nothing available
than that so we'll create a new ju geo
database and this is a personal geo
database you can also have these ox /
geo database i think i would like to
cover that with a new playlist
afterwards so this is a new Jo database
and we'll give it the name the name
should be city data city data gdb and MD
be sorry for that and we'll just enter
that so this is it this is a geo
database it was very easy well the video
isn't finished now so what we need to do
is we need to we need some data in it so
you can double-click in it there's
nothing in it there's no real properties
for that once and well it's just the
container somehow so what we will do is
um we'll get to this um you can right
click on that and you can import feature
classes single and multiple and this is
what I would like to show you so I mean
we will import now data to this geo
database and in the first first start
the input features were chosen in the
folder chapter 14 there the data in
parcels all there well I think these
or some maybe probably some layer falls
I'm not sure about that so we will
concentrate on the polygon coverages
maybe we will create a new output
feature class which is called parcels
parcels and we will also use all of
these attributes here so this is it for
a moment okay
come on feature class to feature class
is now taking place so we're just
copying something like this file on this
data to our geo database so parcels is
in our database what else do we need you
can have a look on the preview of the
parcels so this is this is it and the
contents you you have you can see here
what else will we do now we will import
multiple files these files are set on
fire hydrants and waterway wolves wolves
and yep so we would like to import these
as well these are shape files and just
press ok
so there we are we have now three um
three faults available or three layers
available in our geo database you can
easily drag and drop them where you need
them and we'll go into the folder just
to show you how this is this looks in
the Explorer so we're now having here
only RM DB which is a Microsoft a creme
which can be opened with Microsoft
Access it looks like I'm trying it now
and there we go just have a look on that
and the access interface this is now
also very small one with only two point
four megabytes okay we have lock on that
on that file
oh what the
and here you can see now all the
information of fire hydrants shape Ark
number water ID and also the x and
y-coordinates your parcels shape index
where are the worthy probably the
coordinates of each feature so you can
go through the tables in access as well
and yeah so this is it we are now
created a geodatabase
and this is here as I can see this is
just two Falls and you can easily
transport them and you won't lose the
overview of your data and this is a
corresponding shape Falls as you can see
we have five files per chef on and
here's the other ones
it's called parcels there are the
coverages in it and same thing very very
hard to get an overview of your data to
keep them all together now just imagine
you would like to yeah you would like to
administrate like 20 of them it will be
a lot of trouble after some weeks thank
you very much for watching stay tuned
and goodbye
