Overview of this book

This is a solution-based book, showcasing the real power of ArcGIS Geodatabase by following a real-world, example-based approach. 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.

Chapter 5. Programming Geodatabases

During the course of this book, you have learned about the key tools to author, manage, and administer ArcGIS geodatabases. You have learned how to create a geodatabase, add datasets, create relationships, and much more. In the previous chapter, you learned some techniques that can be applied to the geodatabase to optimize and keep your geodatabase healthy. You might have noticed that running all these tools manually, especially in bulk mode, can be a hectic process. That is why Esri, the company that created ArcGIS, has made all these geodatabase functionalities available as geoprocessing tools. These tools can be combined and joined together to form other tools with different functionalities. They can also be called from various programming platforms such as Python to solve interesting problems, as we will see later in this chapter.

Note

A geoprocessing tool is a component that accepts input parameters and produces an output by performing operations...
