Behavior
and the Geodatabase
So far in
this course, you've learned how to create a geodatabase, add data to it, then
edit that data. Now you're ready to tackle one of the most powerful
capabilities of the geodatabase—giving data the ability to mimic features in
the real world.
You might
think of this as creating "smart" features. For example, instead of a
generic polygon feature, you could create a feature that knows its default type
is office building, its height may not exceed six floors, and that it can be
located only on a parcel zoned for commercial business.
How can
you create features like this? By adding behavior to features
and other objects in the geodatabase. You add behavior by defining
properties that describe and control how the features can be edited and
displayed.
In this
session, you will learn about three types of behavior that can be added to
geodatabase features.
