Preferred by most users. Also, it stores the data more efficiently than .gpkg (draft zipped .gdb output is 446MB vs 775MB for .gpkg)

Details/specifics:

  • Name the gdb as per 2021 i.e. with the year, and processing date e.g. BC_CE_Integrated_Roads_2024_20240111.gdb - for versioning tracking
  • Name the features class with the year e.g. ‘integrated_roads_2024’
  • Ensure there is a spatial index
  • Ensure field names are upper case, and match with the 2021 field names.
  • Ensure field lengths are < 254 chars- there are few with length = 65536
  • Provide an updated ArcCatalog metadata file with the geodatabase (see previous version 1README... attached)
  • Deliver scripts and a readme file on how to run them. (GitHub is ok so long as its downloadable) eg. 2README in 2021 folder
