Esri Geodatabase (File Geodatabase API) Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.
The Geodatabase modules make use of the following special attribute names.
Attribute Name |
Contents |
filegdb_type |
The type of geometric entity stored within the feature. The valid values are listed below: geodb_no_geom geodb_point geodb_multipoint geodb_polyline geodb_polygon |
Features read or written also have an attribute for each column in the database table.
Tables
filegdb_type: geodb_no_geom
Features with this value consist of no coordinates.
Points
filegdb_type: geodb_point
Features with this value are point features.
Multipoints
filegdb_type: geodb_multipoint
Features with this value are multi-part features consisting of points.
Polylines
filegdb_type: geodb_polyline
Features with this value consist of one or more linear geometries (arcs, lines, or paths consisting of arcs and/or lines).
Polygons
filegdb_type: geodb_polygon
Features with this value consist of one or more area geometries (polygons, ellipses, or donuts).
