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 a spatial type.

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 Cloud Storage Connection File

Creates a connection file for ArcGIS-supported cloud storage. It allows existing raster geoprocessing tools to write cloud raster format (CRF) datasets into the cloud storage bucket or read raster datasets (not limited to CRF) stored in the cloud storage as input.

Create Database Connection

Creates a file that ArcGIS uses to connect to a database or an enterprise, a workgroup, or a 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

Adds the ST_Geometry SQL type, subtypes, and functions to an Oracle or a 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 a PostgreSQL database.

Create SQLite Database

Creates a GeoPackage or an SQLite database that contains the ST_Geometry or SpatiaLite spatial type.
