Mass update of attributes

Question

Hi~ Everyone,

I want to do a mass update of the attributes in 2 existing feature classes.  One has over 57,000 rows and the other over 65,000.  I just want to use a table to refresh the attributes and not change the geometry. Any tools or methods that can quickly can do this?

Thank you

I wish I had access to either of those but I do not.  I am a one person shop.

Yeah, joins in ArcMap/Pro are pretty sketchy.

Get a DBA involved and do all the updates directly on the backend.  If you have FME, that might be a good option too.

Our account management system is completely separate from our GIS.  We have parent accounts and service locations that have had account detail changes that need to be updated in GIS.  This will be multiple fields (12-15) for each feature class.  A simple join and field calculate does not work.
