How to work with geodatabases?

SaidAkif

Hi all

In my python code scripting, some time I used some function to do analysis on shapefile. Those function need to specify the .shp in the filename like arcpy.Rename_management(output+'.shp', filename). When I used files in geodatabase, my script crashed.

I am wondering how I can handle this problem?

I want just specify that my script loop over lot of files.

Thanks in advance

I believe Owain Catton mentioned that you are trying to append ".shp" to the name which is invalid for a geodatabase. .shp is reserved for Shape files....

So there may be a question on whether or not you are using Geodatabase layers or layers derived from shape files?

Just copy and paste your code into the post as plain text; forget the syntax highlighting.

I use IE

There should be a "Use advanced editor" link in the upper right corner of the reply box. What browser are you using?

Sorry. I did not find the editor title bar (or advanced editor link)

Your link is doubled up. I think you meant to go to ArcGIS Help 10.2 - Workspace properties (arcpy)

Thanks for posting your code, but a screenshot is not very helpful if someone wants to copy it. Please post again as text with Python syntax highlighting.

Hi Said,

If you want to use the script for both Shapefiles and Geodatabases, you will need to check the input dataset for which data type it is. As at the moment you are appending ".shp" to the name which is invalid for the Geodatabases.

You can access which data type is input via the Describe function as seen here http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//018v0000002v000000

Hope that helps,

Owain

Here is a peace of my code:

It is hard to tell from your description what your problem is? If you would attach some sample code where you are having the problem; someone would be able to assist you better.
