#Arcgis file type portable

Provide a portable geodatabase that works across operating systems.Provide a widely available, simple, and scalable geodatabase solution for all users.

The file geodatabase was a new geodatabase type released in ArcGIS 9.2. With a file geodatabase, it is possible to have more than one editor at the same time provided they are editing in different feature datasets, stand-alone feature classes, or tables. File and personal geodatabases are designed to be edited by a single user and do not support geodatabase versioning.

Learn about creating geodatabases File geodatabases and personal geodatabasesДЇile and personal geodatabases, which are freely available to all users of ArcGIS Desktop Basic, Desktop Standard, and Desktop Advanced, are designed to support the full information model of the geodatabase, which comprises topologies, raster catalogs, network datasets, terrain datasets, address locators, and so on. Windows, UNIX, Linux, and direct connections to DBMSs that can potentially run on any platform on the user's local networkДЇull DBMS functions for backup, recovery, replication, SQL support, security, and so onДЄ comparison of the three types of geodatabases Only supported as a geodatabase for clients who post updates using checkout and check-in and as a client to which updates can be sent using one-way replication. The effective limit before performance degrades is typically between 250 and 500 MB per Microsoft Access database file.ДЇully supported across all DBMSs includes cross-database replication, updates using checkout and check-in, and historical archiving Each feature class can scale up to hundreds of millions of vector features per dataset. The 1 TB limit can be raised to 256 TB for extremely large image datasets. Each file geodatabase can hold many datasets. A file geodatabase is a file folder that holds its dataset files.ДЄll the contents in each personal geodatabase are held in a single Microsoft Access file (.mdb). Concurrent use eventually degrades for large numbers of readers.Д®ach dataset is a separate file on disk. Single user and small workgroups with smaller datasets: some readers and one writer. Concurrent use of any specific file eventually degrades for large numbers of readers. Single user and small workgroups: many readers or one writer per feature dataset, stand-alone feature class, or table.

Original data format for ArcGIS geodatabases stored and managed in Microsoft Access data files.(This is limited in size and tied to the Windows operating system.)

Enterprise geodatabases-Also known as multiuser geodatabases, they can be unlimited in size and numbers of users.

Personal geodatabases-All datasets are stored within a Microsoft Access data file, which is limited in size to 2 GB.

The file geodatabase is recommended over personal geodatabases. Each dataset is held as a file that can scale up to 1 TB in size.

File geodatabases-Stored as folders in a file system.
