Data Management Toolbox

Question 1

Attachments

Answer 1

File attachments can be added to the records of geodatabases starting with 10.0. Provide a way to associate non-geographic data including pictures, html documents, and reports or graphs

Question 2

Archiving

Answer 2

The functionality to record & access changes made to data in a geodatabase. See evolution over time. Enable/disable toolset.

Question 3

Data Comparison

Answer 3

Tools to compare one dataset with another to identify changes.

Question 4

Distributed Geodatabase

Answer 4

Allows organizations to disperse data in a connected or disconnected environment. Achieved through replication of the gdb in whole or part. Changes can be coordinated through synchronization.

Question 5

Domains

Answer 5

A way to define a range of values that can be used for multiple attribute fields. Using domains helps ensure data integrity by limiting the choice of values for a particular field.

Question 6

Coded Value Domains

Answer 6

Restricting field values into drop-down lists

Question 7

Range Domains

Answer 7

Automatically validated during editing

Question 8

Feature Class Management

Answer 8

Creating, appending, integrating, updating multiple fc

Question 9

Features

Answer 9

The Features toolset contains tools to transform features from one geometry type to another and verify correctness of features.

Question 10

File Geodatabase

Answer 10

Tools for compression & decompression

Question 11

Geodatabase Administration

Answer 11

Upgrade, management & maintenance tools

Question 12

General

Answer 12

Combining, renaming, copying, deleting, identifying duplicates, sorting records & modelbuilder functionality

Question 13

Generalization

Answer 13

Tools to aggregate or eliminate features

Question 14

Indexes

Answer 14

Tools to add attribute or spatial indexes to feature classes or relationship classes

Question 15

Joins & Relates

Answer 15

Temporary joins unless using relationship classes

Question 16

LAS Dataset

Answer 16

Tools for triangulated datasets used for airborne lidar data

Question 17

Layers and Table Views

Answer 17

Creates and manipulates layer files & table views

Question 18

Package

Answer 18

For sharing layer and map documents

Question 19

Photos

Answer 19

Tools for managing geotagged photos

Question 20

Projections and Transformations

Answer 20

Tools to set the projection

Question 21

Raster

Answer 21

Manipulation of raster datasets

Question 22

Relationship Classes

Answer 22

Tools to create associations between feature classes

Question 23

Subtypes

Answer 23

Manage subtypes of a fc or table

Question 24

Sampling

Answer 24

Tools that create features used as sampling locations or aggregation areas

Question 25

Tables

Answer 25

For adjustment to the tables of feature classes

Question 26

Tile Cache

Answer 26

The Tile Cache toolset contains tools to generate, manage, import, and export tile caches. These tools are capable of generating tile caches from a raster dataset, a mosaic dataset, or a map document locally on your desktop without the need for ArcGIS Server. These tile caches can then be shared as tile packages on ArcGIS Online and published as tiled map services.

Question 27

Versions

Answer 27

The Versions toolset contains tools that make adjustments to the versions of the data.

Question 28

Workspace

Answer 28

The Workspace toolset comprises a set of tools to create the data storage structures used by ArcGIS. These structures include workspace, folder, two types of geodatabases, feature dataset, and an ArcSDE connection file.

Question 29

Global IDs

Answer 29

Uniquely identify a feature or table row within a geodatabase and across geodatabases & are required for two-way and one-way replication.

Question 30

XML Workspace Document

Answer 30

XML Workspace Document is useful for sharing geodatabase schemas or copying geodatabase schemas from one type to another.

Question 31

Feature Class: Integrate

Answer 31

Integrate is used to maintain the integrity of shared feature boundaries by making features coincident if they fall within the specified x,y tolerance. Features that fall within the specified x,y tolerance are considered identical or coincident.

Question 32

Compact File GDB

Answer 32

File geodatabases are stored as binary files on a disk drive. As data is added, removed, or edited, these files become fragmented, decreasing overall database performance. The Compact tool is used to rearrange how the database is stored on disk by defragmenting these binary files, reducing the database’s size on disk and improving database performance.
