About Database Connections |
---|
Database formats include a Database Connection parameter that defines and stores authentication information. For general information about sharing database connections, please see Note that Database Connection parameters differ slightly, depending on context and/or database format. |
Connection From the Connection parameter in a database format, you can do one of the following: Select an existing, previously defined connection. See the section Reusing a Database Connection in Using Database Connections Select Add Database Connection to define a new connection. See database-specific parameters below, as well as the section Adding a Database Connection in a Workspace in Using Database Connections The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users. |
CREATE VIEW viewname AS querydescription;
CREATE OR REPLACE viewname AS querydescription;
DROP VIEW viewname;
If any of these case-insensitive queries is identified, the geodatabase will call custom view calls to delete or create views as requested.
Database Connection
Connection File
This parameter identifies the pathname of a connection file to be used to connect to an Enterprise Geodatabase.
A connection file provides the necessary information to connect to the SDE server, such as the server name or the username.
The connection file must have an .sde extension and be properly formatted (as defined by Esri). Connection files can be created in ArcCatalog.
