Building a Geodatabase
introduces you to geodatabase concepts and shows how to use the
ESRI® ® ArcGIS&tm Desktop products-- ArcInfo&tm,
ArcEditor&tm, and ArcView® to implement geographic database

and work through the steps to get it done.
You will learn how to:
Migrate existing geographic data into a geodatabase.
Create new feature classes, feature data sets, and tables.
Add behavior to your features by creating subtypes and validation
rules.
Create relationships between objects in your geodatabase by
creating relationship classes and geometric networks.
Design your geodatabase using Unified Modeling Language, and create
your geodatabase schema using Computer-Aided Software Engineering
tools.
Create new features and edit existing features with behaviors.
Create and edit dimension features to annotate your maps and
drawings.
Work with a versioned geodatabase.
Begin by following the quick-start tutorial to get an overview of
how to create and edit a geodatabase, and then actually create your
first geodatabase. If you prefer, jump right in and experiment on
your own. When you have questions, you will find concise,
