Datastat Research

Introduction

This course is aimed at users who need to understand more about the management and behavior of a geodatabase. This will include creating, importing and manipulating vector and, raster data. It will also cover creating attribute and spatial validation rules (behavior) and working with geodatabase annotation.

Overview master the essential concepts and skills needed to efficiently create a geodatabase, add data to it, and realistically model the real-world spatial relationships inherent to your data. You will learn about unique geodatabase features that help ensure data integrity over time and why the geodatabase is the preferred format for storing and managing geographic data. Course concepts apply to file-based and multiuser geodatabase.

Who Should Attend?

GIS data managers, analysts, specialists, data technicians, database administrators, and others who manage and maintain data stored in a geodatabase
GIS managers who need to understand the capabilities of the geodatabase

Course objectives

Design and manage databases
Understand different types of databases and their applications
Normalize databases
Create and execute queries

REQUIREMENTS

No prior knowledge of GIS is required. Participants will be working on their own laptop with Quantum GIS (QGIS).
