Title: Module 2 Creating a geodatabase
Course: MASTER-GIST-1130-Patton

Creating a complete logical model is the first step in creating a geodatabase. This can be a long draw out process however a good design will simplify the process when creating the data structure from the geodatabase in ArcCatalog. It’s best to have a complete logical model prepared before creating the geodatabase since databases can be very sensitive to change. Some elements once created cannot be change; they can only be deleted and recreated. (All assignments are due by Sunday, April 16, 2017 by 11:55 p.m.)
