Database A and B have different domains but I want to keep the domains from Database B after copying features from Database A.</P><P>I have tried using the following tools:</P><UL><LI><STRONG>Copy</STRONG>: this tool copies everything (domains, schema, etc.) from Database A and applies it to Database B&nbsp;</LI><LI><STRONG>Feature Class to Feature Class</STRONG>: copies domains from Database A and applies it to Database B</LI><LI><STRONG>Feature Class to Geodatabase</STRONG>:&nbsp; doesn't bring domains over but I don't want to have to re-apply the domains</LI><LI><STRONG>Truncate</STRONG> and <STRONG>Append</STRONG>: Seems to work but is this the best practice? Makes me a bit nervous about deleting all the data in the new database and then appending.</LI></UL><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Any suggestions would be helpful - Thanks!</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 18:51:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/keep-domains-in-new-database-after-transferring/m-p/1303529#M70616 JoshBillings 2023-06-27T18:51:38Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/keep-domains-in-new-database-after-transferring/m-p/1303539#M70618 <P>One workflow that would strip out attribute domains is run the the <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/feature-class-to-shapefile.htm" target="_self">Feature Class to Shapefile GP</A> tool first.&nbsp; Then run the Feature Class to Feature Class GP tool second using the shapefile as the input parameter.&nbsp; Would this accomplish what you're asking?</P> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 19:03:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/keep-domains-in-new-database-after-transferring/m-p/1303539#M70618 Robert_LeClair 2023-06-27T19:03:41Z
