An overview of the Workspace toolset

The Workspace toolset comprises a set of tools to create the data storage structures used by ArcGIS. These structures include workspace, folder, two types of geodatabases, feature dataset, and an ArcSDE connection file.

ToolDescription

Clear Workspace Cache

Clears any enterprise geodatabase workspaces from the enterprise geodatabase workspace cache.

Create ArcInfo Workspace

Creates a workspace with an INFO subdirectory.

Create ArcSDE Connection File

Creates a database connection file to connect to an enterprise geodatabase using an ArcSDE service.

Create Database Connection

The Create Database Connection tool creates a file that ArcGIS uses to connect to a database or an enterprise, workgroup, or desktop geodatabase.

Create Feature Dataset

Creates a feature dataset in the output location—an existing enterprise, file, or personal geodatabase.

Create File GDB

Creates a file geodatabase in a folder.

Create Folder

Creates a folder in the specified location.

Create Personal GDB

Creates a personal geodatabase in a folder.

Create Spatial Type

The Create Spatial Type tool adds the ST_Geometry SQL type, subtypes, and functions to an Oracle or PostgreSQL database. This allows you to use the ST_Geometry SQL type to store geometries in a database that does not contain a geodatabase. You can also use this tool to upgrade the existing ST_Geometry type, subtypes, and functions in an Oracle or PostgreSQL database.

Create SQLite Database

Creates an ST_Geometry, a SpatiaLite, or a GeoPackage database.
