public interface IWorkspace
Provides access to members that have information about the workspace.
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 ArcInfo workspaces are examples of FileSystemWorkspace. A personal geodatabase stored in 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.
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. A WorkspaceName name object can be returned from a workspace through the use of IDataset.FullName.
The IWorkspace interface provides methods for accessing various properties of a workspace, such as its connection properties, and the collection of datasets it contains.

IPropertySet getConnectionProperties() throws IOException, AutomationException
The ConnectionProperties property of a workspace returns the set of named connection properties for this workspace.
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.IWorkspaceFactory getWorkspaceFactory() throws IOException, AutomationException
The WorkspaceFactory property can be used to get a reference back to the workspace factory for this workspace.
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.IEnumDataset getDatasets(int datasetType) throws IOException, AutomationException
datasetType
- A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriDatasetType constant (in)
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.IEnumDatasetName getDatasetNames(int datasetType) throws IOException, AutomationException
datasetType
- A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriDatasetType constant (in)
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.String getPathName() throws IOException, AutomationException
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.int getType() throws IOException, AutomationException
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.boolean isDirectory() throws IOException, AutomationException
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.boolean exists() throws IOException, AutomationException
This method can be used with workspaces from file-based data sources to detect if they've been deleted by another application. For example, a shapefile workspace is a directory and can be deleted while the workspace is open.
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.void executeSQL(String sqlStmt) throws IOException, AutomationException
The ExecuteSQL method can be used to send an arbitrary SQL statement to the underlying database for execution. The statement can be any DDL (data definition language) or DML (data manipulation language) statement but can not return any result sets. The syntax for the SQL is as required by the underlying database. The workspace supports an optional ISQLSyntax interface that provides information to applications on aspects of the SQL Syntax for the underlying database.
To determine if a workspace supports the ExecutesSQL method, an application can check the value of the canExecuteSQLworkspace property via the optional IWorkspaceProperties interface. In general, this method is only supported on local and remote database workspaces.
sqlStmt
- The sqlStmt (in)
IOException
- If there are interop problems.
AutomationException
- If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
