Expand/Collapse Overview

The geodatabase is the latest data model created by ESRI for representing real-world features and storing geographic data. This course introduces the basic components of a geodatabase—tables, feature classes, feature datasets, and relationships. Together, these components form the building blocks needed for geographic data input, query, display, and analysis. Students learn how geographic data is stored in each of the four components.
