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.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
openTable in interface IFeatureWorkspace
Parameters:
name - The name (in)
Returns:
A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ITable
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

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:

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
createTable in interface IFeatureWorkspace
Parameters:
name - The name (in)
fields - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFields (in)
cLSID - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IUID (in)
eXTCLSID - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IUID (in)

IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

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)
The library name for VPF data is case sensitive and must appear as it is stored in the LAT (Library Attribute Table)
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.

                                        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 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 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.

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.

                                           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.

                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException
Deletes an object by it's name.

Remarks

The DeleteByName method can be used to delete a dataset given its name object. It can be useful when cleaning up partially loaded datasets that cannot be instantiated because of incomplete information. It is made use of by ArcCatalog’s delete command. Note that IDataset::Delete is directly available as a method on instantiated datasets.

The DeleteByName method will fail when called on feature classes that participate in geometric networks or topologies. In these cases, the containing dataset, a Geometric Network or Topology, must be deleted first in order to demote the feature classes from non-simple to simple.

                                AutomationException
Creates a logical network based on the specified configuration keyword.

Remarks

CreateNetworkEx is used to create a logical network that is not associated with a geometric network. If you want to create a geometric network along with the logical network, then use the INetworkCollection2::CreateGeometricNetworkEx method.
CreateNetworkEx differs from INetworkWorkspace::CreateNetwork in that this method contains additional parameters to specify the Configuration keyword for creating networks in ArcSDE and for specifying the storage format for the network. The configuartion keyword specifies how the logical network tables and indexes are stored in ArcSDE.
The format parameter outlines the storage of feature class IDs which participate in the geometric network. The storage format can be specified as either narrow or wide. Networks with a narrow format can only contain feature classes with class IDs less than 10,000 while networks with a wide format have no limitation on the feature class ID value. Unless you specifically require narrow networks, the format should always be set to a value of 1 for the wide storage format.
The connectivity for the logical network is stored in a series of tables in the database. The actual connectivity is managed in a series of BLOBs.

Remarks

The OpenTopology method can be used to open any existing topology in the workspace given its fully qualified name. Note that every topology in a geodatabase has a unique fully qualified name. 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 topology. Use the IWorkspace2::NameExists method to determine if a topology with the appropriate name exists in the geodatabase.

Some examples of how to use the name parameter of OpenTopology are shown below:
For topologies in a Personal or File Geodatabase:
MyTopology
For topologies in an Oracle ArcSDE Geodatabase (the owner prefix is unnecessary if you are connected as the owner of the topology):

                    throws IOException,
                           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:

dbName = ""

ownerName = "gdb"

                            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).

FindVersion returns an IVersion interface which is commonly used to read or set a version's properties. The interface requires a string as input. The value of the string is case sensitive and a version's owner should be prefixed as owner.version. If an owner is not specified, only the versions which the user is connected owns are searched.

If it is the application developer's goal to obtain a reference to the DEFAULT version, it is recommended to use the DefaultVersion property as opposed to passing in a literal string to FindVersion method. The DefaultVersion method will always return a IVersion object referencing the default version of the workspace from which the name can be obtained through VersionName property on the IVersionInfo interface.

                                          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.
