The key advantage of a geodatabase -- the world's most advanced spatial object-oriented data model -- is that it allows users to easily build intelligent models of spatial systems. This introduction to geodatabase concepts illustrates how to implement geographic designs by importing existing data or building a new geodatabase from scratch. Topics include migrating existing geographic data into a geodatabase; creating new feature classes and datasets; adding behavior to features by creating subtypes and validation rules; designing a geodatabase using Unified Modeling Language (UML); and creating schema using Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE). A tutorial provides an overview of creating and editing a geodatabase, and is followed by instructions for creating a first geodatabase.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book rocks huge!,
This review is from: Building A Geodatabase (Paperback)
If you are looking to understand the fundamental technical details of how to use a Geodatabase within the new ArcInfo 8 GIS, this is the definitive book to buy. The technical scope is broad, yet there is sufficient detail to satisfy the most aggressive and hungry of Geodatabase developers. Geodatabase neophytes will find the Quick-Start tutorial quite valuable, and the jaded old wizards will also regularly refresh their knowledge of this fascinating and ground breaking technology. The information is clearly presented in the "At a Glance" style found in books written for Microsoft consumer products. I personally find this text indispensible and use it on a nearly daily basis.
