Abstract
Lessons Learned Developing a Complex Geodatabase while ArcInfo 8.x Evolved
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Brian Wopershall, Lindle Willnow, Ellen Cyran
An application was developed for Cleveland, Ohio's Water Division using ArcInfo and ArcSDE to model its distribution system's hydraulic and include all 4,500 miles of pipes and appurtenances. The client required conformance with relational database standards. However, to use ArcInfo, the ArcFM Water data model had to be adapted to match the conceptual database design. Several important lessons were learned in developing this project during the time between the release of ArcInfo 8 and the release of ArcGIS 8.1. The paper will discuss database development, custom tool development to add client-required functionality, database tuning, and performance issues.
