Class IWorkspaceProxy

java.lang.Object
  com.esri.arcgis.interop.Dispatch
      com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspaceProxy

All Implemented Interfaces:

IWorkspace, Externalizable, Serializable

public class IWorkspaceProxy
extends com.esri.arcgis.interop.Dispatch
implements IWorkspace, Serializable

Provides access to members that have information about the workspace.

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 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.

                       AutomationException

Executes the specified SQL statement.

Remarks

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.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

executeSQL in interface IWorkspace

Parameters:

sqlStmt - The sqlStmt (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
