The Geodatabase Administration toolset contains tools for a variety of geodatabase management tasks. Specific geodatabase data management tools as well as geodatabase upgrade, management, and maintenance are covered by the tools in this toolset.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Updates database statistics of base tables, delta tables, and archive tables, along with the statistics on the indexes of those tables. This tool is used in enterprise geodatabases to help get optimal performance from the RDBMS query optimizer. Stale statistics can affect geodatabase performance. | |
Establishes or changes user access privileges to the input enterprise database datasets, stand-alone feature classes, or tables. | |
Compresses an enterprise geodatabase by removing states not referenced by a version and redundant rows. | |
Alters the type of log file tables used by an earlier release enterprise geodatabase to maintain lists of records cached by ArcGIS. | |
Creates a database sequence in a geodatabase. You can use the sequences in custom applications that access the geodatabase. | |
Creates a database user with privileges sufficient to create data in the database. | |
Creates a database, storage locations, and a database user to act as the geodatabase administrator and owner of the geodatabase. Functionality varies depending on the database management system used. The tool grants the geodatabase administrator the privileges required to create a geodatabase; it then creates a geodatabase in the database. | |
Creates a database role, allowing you to add users to or remove them from the role. | |
Deletes a database sequence from a geodatabase. | |
Deletes a geodatabase from a user's schema in Oracle. | |
Identifies inconsistencies in the system tables used to manage traditional versions and states in a geodatabase. | |
Identifies inconsistencies in the delta (A and D) tables of datasets that are registered for traditional versioning. | |
Creates geodatabase system tables, stored procedures, functions, and types in an existing database, which enable geodatabase functionality in the database. | |
Exports the configuration keywords, parameters, and values from the specified enterprise geodatabase to an editable file. Change parameter values or add custom configuration keywords to the file and use the Import Geodatabase Configuration Keywords tool to import the changes to the geodatabase. | |
Defines data storage parameters for an enterprise geodatabase by importing a file containing configuration keywords, parameters, and values. | |
Moves the data from a binary, spatial, or spatial attribute column of one data type to a new column of a different data type in geodatabases in Oracle and SQL Server. The configuration keyword you specify when migrating determines the data type used for the new column. | |
Rebuild existing attribute or spatial indexes in enterprise geodatabases. Indexes can also be rebuilt on states and state_lineage geodatabase system tables and the delta tables of datasets that are registered to participate in traditional versioning. Out-of-date indexes can lead to poor query performance. | |
Registers with the geodatabase the feature classes, tables, views, and raster layers that were created in the database using third-party tools or views created with the Create Database View tool. Once registered, information about the items—such as table and column names, spatial extent, and geometry type—is stored in the geodatabase's system tables, allowing these registered items to participate in geodatabase functionality. | |
Repairs inconsistencies in the versioning system tables of a geodatabase that contains traditional versions. | |
Repairs inconsistencies in the delta (A and D) tables of datasets that are registered for traditional versioning. | |
Updates the ArcGIS Server license in an enterprise geodatabase. | |
Updates the portal owner of a dataset to another user. | |
Upgrades the schema of a mosaic dataset, network dataset, annotation dataset, dimension dataset, parcel fabric, trace network, or utility network to the current ArcGIS release. Upgrading the dataset allows the dataset to use new functionality in the current software release. | |
Upgrades a geodatabase to the latest ArcGIS release to take advantage of new functionality. |
