Learning ArcGIS Geodatabases

by Hussein Nasser

An all-in-one start up kit to author, manage, and administer ArcGIS geodatabases 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. ArcGIS is an industry standard for geospatial development and management. A geodatabase is the database used to store and manage the spatial data. 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. 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.

Enjoyed this far more than I expected to based on the title and description- was an excellent refresher. Dove into just enough detail, covering a breadth of topics, that I found myself developing a lot of ideas for work processes and personal projects.
