Remarks

A Workspace is a container of spatial and non-spatial datasets such as feature classes, raster datasets and tables. It provides methods to instantiate existing datasets and to create new datasets. Workspaces are classified into types specified by the esriWorkspaceType enumerator; FileSystemWorkspace, LocalDatabaseWorkspace, and RemoteDatabaseWorkspace. Shapefiles and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced workspaces are examples of FileSystemWorkspace. A personal geodatabase stored in an Access or a File Geodatabase is an example of a LocalDatabaseWorkspace. A geodatabase stored in an RDBMS such as Oracle, DB2, SqlServer, or Informix and accessed via ArcSDE is an example of a RemoteDatabaseWorkspace.

A Workspace hands out a WorkspaceName name object as the value of its FullName property. The WorkspaceName for a workspace can be persisted, for example, in a map document. An application can call the Open method on the workspace name after loading it from persistent storage in order to connect to and get an object reference to the workspace.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

The value will contain a description of the dataset such as "Topology" prefixed with a description of the type of workspace containing the dataset such as "File Geodatabase".

The description returned from IDataset::Category may change between releases of ArcGIS. In addition to this, returned strings are localized, meaning that code relying on a specific string being provided may fail when deployed with a different version of ArcGIS than it was developed with, or when deployed to a client using a different language than it was developed with.

                                   AutomationException

The set of properties for the dataset.

Description

The PropertySet property is used to return any additional intrinsic properties (but not metadata properties) that may apply to the dataset. One use of this property is to distinguish between the types of File Geodatabase datafile formats. If called on a Feature Class or Table in a File Geodatabase the Datafile Format property can either be esriFGDBStandardDatafile or esriFGDBCompressedDatafile.

Most datasets do not implement this property and will either raise an error or return a null value if it's called. There are a handful of exceptions that will return property sets; these include the datasets from file geodatabases (as mentioned above) and coverages.

Remarks

Examples of intrinsic properties for which explicit methods exist include the SpatialReference and the Extent methods available on the IGeoDataset interface. In most cases this PropertySet will be empty.

IDataset::PropertySet is not supported for Graph objects such as a Geometric Network.

Parameters:: withUndoRedo - The withUndoRedo (in)
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

stopEditing

public void stopEditing(boolean saveEdits)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Stops editing the workspace.

Remarks

The StopEditing method is used to end an edit session. The saveEdits parameter controls if edits are saved or discarded. An ArcSDE geodatabase can support multiple concurrent edit sessions on the same version of the database. In such a scenario, StopEditing will return an error code of FDO_E_VERSION_REDEFINED if it detects that the database state associated with the version being edited is no longer the same as it was at the beginning of the edit session (indicating that the version was modified by some other edit session). In this case the application is responsible for calling the IVersionEdit::Reconcile method to reconcile the edit session against the current state of the version being edited. StopEditing may be called again after reconciliation.

Note: With non-versioned editing always be sure to check the current edit state via IsBeingEdited before called StartEditing or StopEditing. If the workspace is being edited outside your context, there will be issues if you call StopEditing. This will cause any other editors of the workspace to become decoupled with the potential loss of their edits.

This method explicitly commit of any active transactions in the database.

                               AutomationException

Begins an edit operation.

Remarks

All related changes to objects in the database within an edit session should be grouped into edit operations. An edit operation is begun using the StartEditOperation method. An edit operation may be thought of as a short transaction nested within the long transaction corresponding to the edit session.

All edits to features that participate in a Topology or Geometric Network must be bracketed within an edit operation.

When using StartEditOperation, proper handling of errors, including the use of AbortEditOperation, is neccessary.

openTable

public ITable openTable(String name)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Opens an existing table.

Remarks

The OpenTable method can be used to open any existing table or object class in the workspace given its fully qualified name. The table object returned will always support the ITable interface. The returned table object will support additional interfaces depending on the type of table. For example, object classes will additionally support the IObjectClass interface.

Use the IDatabaseConnectionInfo interface to determine the User and Database (if applicable). ISQLSyntax::QualifyTableName can be used to determine the fully qualified name for a table. Use the NameExists method on the IWorkspace2 interface to determine if a table with the appropriate name exists in a geodatabase.

Some examples of how to use the name parameter of OpenTable are shown below:

For Coverage feature classes:
cover:feature("stream:arc")

For info tables:
cover:feature("stream.aat")

For Oracle tables:
gdb.Owners

For SQLServer tables:

fdo_data.gdb.Owners

For Informix tables:

bladetest2:gdb.Owners

The 4 tables associated with a Topology; T_#_DirtyAreas, T_#_PolyErrors, T_#_LineErrors and T_#_PointErrors cannot be directly edited. For this reason they cannot be opened and will fail with a general Geodatabase error.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

createTable

public ITable createTable(String name,
                          IFields fields,
                          IUID cLSID,
                          IUID eXTCLSID,
                          String configKeyword)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Creates a new table.

Remarks

The CreateTable method can be used to create a new table or object class in the workspace.

The optional CLSID and EXTCLSID parameters allow the calling application to specify the GUIDs for the objects that implement the instance and the class extension behavior for an object class. If no CLSID is passed in, then the resulting table is not registered in the geodatabase object class data dictionary (It will support the IObjectClass interface but will have an ObjectClassID of –1). Valid values for CLSID are esriGeoDatabase.Object or any non-spatial object that extends esriGeoDatabase.Object. CLSID must be set in order to apply a class extension with the EXTCLSID parameter.

The Fields object passed to the Fields parameter should not be an object retrieved from another class. If the new class is going to have the same fields as an existing class, cast the existing class' fields collection to the IClone interface, clone it, and use the cloned fields collection as input for this method.

The optional configurationKeyword parameter allows the application to control the physical layout for this table in the underlying RDBMS. For example, in an Oracle database, the configuration keyword controls the tablespace in which the table is created, the initial and next extents, and other properties. The configuration keywords for an ArcSDE instance are set up by the ArcSDE data administrator, the list of available keywords supported by a workspace may be obtained using the IWorkspaceConfiguration interface.

Note: Table or feature class names with the following prefixes are not supported:

"gdb_"
"sde_"
"delta_"

openFeatureClass

public IFeatureClass openFeatureClass(String name)
                               throws IOException,
                                      AutomationException

Opens an existing feature class.

Remarks

The OpenFeatureClass method can be used to open any existing feature class in the workspace given its fully qualified name. Note that every feature class in a geodatabase has a unique fully qualified name, and the OpenFeatureClass method can be used to directly open feature classes that are part of a feature dataset (the feature dataset name does not need to be specified).

Use the IDatabaseConnectionInfo interface to determine the User and Database (if applicable). ISQLSyntax::QualifyTableName can be used to determine the fully qualified name for a feature class. Use the NameExists method on the IWorkspace2 interface to determine if a feature class with the appropriate name exists in a geodatabase.

Opening a feature class that participates in a topology or geometric network will also open all other feature classes participating in the topology or geometric network in memory.

Some examples of how to use the Name parameter of OpenFeatureClass are shown below:

For Coverage feature classes:
buildings:polygon

For Oracle feature classes (the owner prefix is unnecessary if you are connected as the owner of the feature class):
gdb.Buildings

For SQLServer feature classes:

fdo_data.gdb.Buildings

For Informix feature classes:

bladetest2:gdb.Buildings

For VPF feature classes:

ks032193:veg:vgfarea (library:coverage:feature class)

                                        AutomationException

Creates a new standalone feature class under the workspace.

Remarks

The CreateFeatureClass method can be used to create a stand-alone feature class that is not part of a feature dataset. It takes, in addition to all the parameters that CreateTable takes, an esriFeatureType parameter that specifies the category of features to be stored in this feature class (i.e., esriFTSimple, esriFTComplexEdgeFeature) and a shape field name. The shape field name identifies the name of the field in the input fields collection that represents the shape field for the feature class.

The GeometryDef object associated with the shape field object must be fully setup with a spatial reference, grid properties, and the geometry type before calling CreateFeatureClass.

The following esriGeometryType enumeration values represent the valid geometry types for a new feature class' GeometryDef object: esriGeometryPoint, esriGeometryMultipoint, esriGeometryPolyline, esriGeometryPolygon, and esriGeometryMultiPatch.

If the feature class is being created in geodatabase then the fields collection must contain, at a minimum, an Object ID field and a Shape field. The required fields can be obtained from the class description for the type of object you wish to create (see the RequiredFields property on IObjectClassDescription).

The CLSID parameter is used to specify what type of feature will be contained by the class. If a null value is passed in for the CLSID, the geodatabase will return Feature instances from the class. In most cases, this is the desired behavior. If the feature class is used to store custom features, the GUID of the custom feature should be provided. Alternatively, the IClassSchemaEdit interface can be used to change the feature class' CLSID following creation.

The EXTCLSID parameter is used to specify what class will be instantiated as the feature class extension. This object must at least support the IClassExtension interface. If a null value is passed in for the EXTCLSID parameter, the feature class will not have a class extension associated with it. Since class extensions are not required, this is often the desired behavior. If the feature class should have an associated extension, the GUID of the class extension should be provided. Alternatively, the IClassSchemaEdit interface can be used to associate a class extension following creation.

The configurationKeywordparameter allows the application to control the physical layout for this table in the underlying RDBMS. For example, in the case of an Oracle database, the configuration keyword controls the tablespace in which the table is created, the initial and next extents, and other properties. The configuration keywords for an ArcSDE instance are set up by the ArcSDE data administrator, and the list of available keywords supported by a workspace may be obtained using the IWorkspaceConfigurationinterface.

If the workspace the feature class will be created in is a pre-9.2 geodatabase, you must ensure the GeometryDef references a low precision spatial reference. 9.1 and earlier versions of the geodatabase only support low precision spatial references, while 9.2 geodatabases require high precision spatial references. Use IControlPrecision2::IsHighPrecision to manage the precision level of the spatial reference used to create the feature class. Use the IGeodatabaseRelease interface to determine the release of the geodatabase.

Developers should be aware that calling this method on a shapefile workspace when a shapefile of the same name already exists will cause the existing shapefile to be deleted. To prevent this, check for the existence of a shapefile prior to calling this method.

Note:Table or feature class names with the following prefixes are not supported:

~ "gdb_"
~ "sde_"
~ "delta_"

                                                  AutomationException

Creates a new relationship class.

Remarks

The CreateRelationshipClass method can be used to create a new stand-alone relationship class that is not part of a feature dataset. The relationship class is implemented as a separate data table whose name is the name of the relationship class if the cardinality is many-to-many or if the relationship class is attributed. The relAttribFields parameter is optional, and a null value may be passed in for non-attributed relationship classes.

Many-to-many or attributed relationship classes require specification of all four key fields�the OriginPrimaryKey and the destPrimaryKey parameters are the primary key fields for the origin and destination object classes. The OriginForeignKey and destForeignKey parameters are the names of the corresponding foreign keys that will be created in the data table representing the relationship class. If the relationship class is one-to-one or one-to-many and not attributed, then the relationship class is implemented as a foreign key field in the destination object class (the OriginForeignKey) that references the primary key field in the origin object class (the OriginPrimaryKey). In this case, the OriginPrimaryKey, the OriginForeignKey, and the destPrimaryKey must be supplied.

The Fields object passed to the relAttrFields parameter should not be an object retrieved from another class. If the new class is going to have the same fields as an existing class, cast the existing class' fields collection to the IClone interface, clone it, and use the cloned fields collection as input for this method.

                         AutomationException

Analyze the table to generate DBMS statistics.

Remarks

The AnalyzeTable and AnalyzeIndex methods can be used to acquire DBMS statistics on tables and table indexes. Having up-to-date statistics on a table is key to efficient query performance on the table and a key requirement for efficient queries against versioned tables. Note that datasets that are based on tables support the IDatasetAnalyze method; to analyze all of the tables in a feature dataset, use the IDatasetAnalyze::Analyze method on the feature dataset.

The TableComponents arguement takes values from the enumeration esriTableComponents. These values include esriAddsTable, esriBusinessTable, esriDeletesTable, esriFeatureTable, and esriRasterTable. The values can also be combined together. For example, to analyze the business, adds, and deletes table, you would specify (esriBusinessTable + esriAddsTable + esriDeletesTable)

upgrade

public void upgrade()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Upgrade the database to the current release level.

Remarks

This method will upgrade the geodatabase system table release version to the current version of the ArcGIS software you are running. It will also augment the geodatabase system tables as required to complete the upgrade. An exclusive lock on the geodatabase is required to perform the upgrade.

Upgrading a pre-ArcGIS 9.2 (low precision) geodatabase will not convert existing datasets within the geodatabase to high precision. In order to convert datasets from Low to High precision, use the IGeoDatasetSchemaEdit2::AlterResolution method.

Once the geodatabase has been upgraded, it is not usable in older versions of the software. Use the IGeodatabaseRelease2::DatasetSupported property to determine if the creation and use of particular datasets are supported within a geodatabase.

The auto commit interval is the number of modification operations before a database commit is executed.

Remarks

Setting the AutoCommitInterval to 0 turns auto-commit off, and ensures that the transaction will not commit until the application calls CommitTransaction. The AutoCommitInterval is explicitly set to 0 when an edit session is started. The original value will be reset when the edit session is stopped.

By default the AutoCommitInterval is set to 1000 and it should be noted that user defined transactions will be commited after this threshold is breached.

fillCache

public void fillCache(IEnvelope pExtent)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Fills the spatial cache using the specified extent.

Remarks

The CacheIsFull property returns true if the cache is full (the cache is active). The FillCache method is used to make the cache active and to set the boundary of the cache. Calling this method causes the workspace to fetch objects from the database and fill the cache. Only features in open feature classes within the cache extent are fetched. Opening a feature class that participates in a topology or geometric network will also open all other feature classes participating in the topology or geometric network.

The time to fill the cache and the amount of memory consumed with the cache depends on the extent of the cache and the density and size of features in the feature classes being cached.

It should be noted that all attributes of a feature within the envelope will be cached when the call is made to FillCache. Also, only those features that are in currently open feature classes will be cached. Therefore if you only want to perform spatial searches against a specific feature class it would make sense to only have that feature class open when the cache is filled. The more feature classes open when FillCache is called the more expensive the fill cache operation is.

                                           AutomationException

Creates a new annotation feature class in the workspace.

Remarks

The CreateAnnotationClass method creates a new annotation feature class that may or may not be feature linked via a relationship class to features in a source feature class (the feature class being annotated).

The CLSID property must be set to esriCarto.AnnotationFeature and the EXTCLSID property must be set to esriCarto.AnnotationFeatureClassExtension. The srcFeatureClass parameter specifies the source feature class and may be set to 0 or Nothing for non-feature linked annotation.

The AnnoProperties parameter specifies the labeling properties to be used for the annotation, and must support the IAnnotateLayerPropertiesCollection interface. The ReferenceScale parameter specifies the reference scale to be used for the annotation. The SymbolCollection parameter specifies the symbols that will be referenced by the annotation elements for the annotation features in this feature class and must support the ISymbolCollection interface.

The autoCreate parameter applies to feature-linked annotation; setting it to True results in a new annotation feature being automatically created when a new feature in the source feature class is created.

                                AutomationException

Updates the symbol collection in the class extension.

Remarks

The AddSymbolCollection and ReplaceSymbolCollection may be used to augment and replace the symbol collection associated with an annotation feature class. Use extreme caution when using these methods--be aware that there may be existing annotation features in the annotation feature class that have annotation elements that may reference symbols by ID. Deleting the symbol for such an ID or replacing it with a different symbol may leave the geometry of the annotation feature out of phase with its symbol, resulting in subsequent problems during drawing and selection. These methods are for use by specialized data loaders that can guarantee the integrity of referenced symbols.

                           AutomationException

Given a table name, determine its qualification parts.

Remarks

Applications should use the ParseTableName method to split the fully qualified name of a table into its components (database, owner, table). ParseTableName can also be used to return the components of any fully qualified name of a dataset such as feature classes, feature datasets, geometric networks and topologies.

Applications that wish to be RDBMS independent should not assume that �.� is the delimiter used to separate the components of a fully qualified dataset name. Use the QualifyTableName method to determine the qualified name of a dataset for a given workspace.

The FullName parameter refers to the fully qualified name of the dataset and is returned by the IDataset::Name property for a dataset in a geodatabase and the IDatasetName::Name property for a dataset name object. Both methods return the fully qualified name for the dataset.

Empty strings will be returned for arguments that do not apply to the underlying DBMS. For example, supplying a FullName parameter of "MyTable" to a Personal or File Geodatabase will result in:

dbName = ""

ownerName = ""

TableName = "MyTable"

While supplying a FullName parameter of "gdb.MyTable" to an ArcSDE Geodatabase on Oracle will result in:

                            AutomationException

Given a column name, determine its qualification parts.

Remarks

Applications should use the ParseColumnName method to split the fully qualified name for a column in a table into its components (database, owner, table, column).

Applications that wish to be RDBMS independent should not assume that �.� is the delimiter used to separate the components of a fully qualified dataset name. Use the QualifyColumnName method to determine the qualified name of a column of a table for a given workspace.

The FullName paramter can be returned from the IDataset::Name property for a dataset in a Geodatabase and the IDatasetName::Name property for a dataset name object. Both methods return the fully qualified name for the dataset (the name object for the dataset is itself obtained using the IDataset::FullName property).

Empty strings will be returned for arguments that do not apply to the underlying DBMS. For example, supplying a FullName parameter of "gdb.Greeley_Parcels_1.AREA" to an ArcSDE Geodatabase on Oracle will result in:

                                          AutomationException

Creates a new raster dataset.

Description

The CreateRasterDataset method creates a new empty raster dataset in the geodatabase, whereby it is basically a placeholder for some attributes of a raster dataset, such as the number of bands, pixel type, RASTER column properties, and GEOMETRY column properties. Once you have created an empty raster dataset in the geodatabase, you can append raster data to it by mosaicking. If the GeometryDef argument is not specified, a default GeometryDef will be created using the according values (for example, spatial reference) set in the RasterDef argument. Since the geometry column is not accessed or updated, there is no need to set the GeometryDef when creating a raster dataset.

If cellsize in the RasterStorageDef is not specified or set to NULL, the new raster dataset will have an undefined cellsize, the cellsize will be set to the cellsize of the first raster that is mosaicked to it.

If spatial reference in the RasterDef is not specified or set to NULL, the new raster dataset will have an unknown spatial reference, the spatial reference will be set to the spatial reference of the first raster that is mosaicked to it.

                                          AutomationException

Creates a new raster dataset from another seed Raster.

Remarks

The SaveAsRasterDataset method provides a way to save any raster as a raster dataset in the geodatabase. It is similar to the CreateRasterDataset method, but instead of creating an empty raster dataset, it copies the input raster properties and pixels to the output raster dataset in the geodatabase. If you want to keep the spatial reference of the input raster dataset for both raster column and geometry column, you can pass nothing to the RasterDef argument and GeometryDef argument.

                                          AutomationException

Creates a new raster catalog.

Remarks

The CreateRasterCatalog method creates a new empty raster catalog in a Personal, File or ArcSDE geodatabase. At releases prior to 9.2, When you create a raster catalog, you need to set the x/y domain on the GeometryDef properly to cover the extents of all the rasters you will be loading to the raster catalog. If the extent of a raster dataset is beyond the specified x/y domain of the GeometryDef, it will not be loaded. Since 9.2, the x/y domain is optimized according to the spatial reference of the geometry column, so you do not need to set it manually.

Replicas contained by or refernced by this workspace.

Remarks

When using this method to get check-out information from a personal or File geodatabase, the enumeration will return no more than one Replica object. This is because personal and File geodatabases can only host one check-out. Many replicas may be returned with ArcSDE geodatabases since ArcSDE can host a check-out plus have references to many other check-outs.

If no replicas are returned, the geodatabase is not involved in an active check-out.
