New member: Mobile Geodatabase

ArcGIS Pro users have the advantage of using Mobile geodatabases and expose the geodatabase functionality with data using domains, subtypes, and relationship classes. Mobile geodatabase; functionality includes contingent values, relationship classes, editor tracking, and attachments.

Other abilities are listed below:

  • A simple geodatabase solution for all users.

  • Ability to create (point, multipoint, line geometries, polygons, and true curves), display, and query GIS data.

  • A portable geodatabase that works across operating systems.

  • An efficient data structure that is optimized for performance and reduced cost, complexity, and administration.

Mobile geodatabases are designed to be edited by a single user and do not support other types of geodatabase versioning.

A mobile geodatabase is built on SQLite. SQLite is a self-contained database file format that stores the entire database in a single file on a disk. This single file can hold up to 2 TB of data, is easily portable, is supported across platforms, and can be emailed or written to a USB device to facilitate more efficient data exchange.

Further, you can use SQL in third-party software to access the contents of a mobile geodatabase. Accessing the data in a mobile geodatabase via SQL does not require a license
