Create feature class with "objectid" lowercase, Python?

MarkMindlin — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 06:01:45 GMT

Hi,

We have an old code that works with a feature class with field "objectid" lowercase.

I just wondering how can one create a feature class with lowercase "objectid"?

It is possible with Python? or C#?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can we use an XML schema for that? How?

why not modify the code to convert the case to lower when the objected is needed. If you attempt to make it useable in the other program, it won't be useable in Arc*. Alternately, export to a format that both programs can agree upon

Thank you, Dan.

I see what you mean. I would definitely change the code. But..

The code is unreachable for me to change.

If we have old "rid" field of type "ObjectID"

could we AlterField to "objectid"?

It actually works.

I am not sure if the type of the field could be set to "ObjectID".

We did it with

Export->XML Workspace Document

Manually change to lowercase in the XML

Import ->XML Workspace Document
