Expression – enables you to define a SQL expression to select a subset of the rows in the input table to migrate.There are also 3 optional input parameters: Output Feature Class – the name of the output feature class that will be created.Again you can browse to a location or drag and drop one into the input box Output location – this can be the geodatabase or a feature dataset within the geodatabase.Input Features – you can browse to a shapefile or drag and drop one into the input box.The Feature Class to Feature Class tool works on a single shapefile. There are two key GP tools for migrating your shapefiles into the geodatabase: It is a type of feature class and therefore directly maps to the geodatabase as a single feature class when you migrate it to the geodatabase.
A shapefile is the native data format for ArcView GIS 3.x technology. So first, let’s look at migrating shapefiles into the geodatabase. Via the ArcGIS Desktop command line interfaceįor more detailed information on the different ways to execute a GP tool in ArcGIS, look in the Geoprocessing help book, in the ArcGIS Desktop help.As a regular tool dialog by activating the tool in ArcToolbox.This means that you can execute the migration tools in several different ways: Since the To Geodatabase toolset migration tools are GP tools, you can leverage them within the ArcGIS geoprocessing framework. Importing data into the geodatabase – in the Catalog tree, select the geodatabase you want to place your GIS data into, right-click and select Import from the context menu, then choose the appropriate data import tool.Įxporting data into the geodatabase – In the Catalog tree, browse to and select the GIS dataset that you want to put into the geodatabase, right-click and select export from the context menu, then choose the appropriate data export toolīoth approaches use the same geoprocessing (GP) tools that are readily available directly within ArcToolbox, specifically in the Conversion Tools toolbox, in the To Geodatabase toolset. Within ArcCatalog, there are two general workflows to migrate GIS data into the geodatabase: We’ll discuss migration strategies for five common GIS data formats:ĪrcCatalog is the ArcGIS Desktop application that allows you to manage and access GIS data.

So this is the first in a series of posts that will be addressing how to migrate to the geodatabase. After seeing the script for his podcast I decided that some introductory style posts would also be a good way to get the info out to our users. I talked it over with Derek Law and he thought he’d make a podcast about it (we’ll link to that podcast when it hits the net). While I was at the user conference earlier this year I was getting a lot of questions about migrating to the geodatabase from other data formats.
