Select Layer by Location — Intersect (DBMS) — Existing Selections

Bud — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 07:53:39 GMT

In the Select Layer By Location (Data Management) docs, the Relationship Parameter — Intersect (DBMS) section says:

For the Relationship parameter, the Intersect (DBMS) option may provide better performance than the Intersect option when using enterprise geodatabase data; however, this option is only supported under specific conditions. If all conditions are met, the spatial operation will be performed in the enterprise geodatabase database management system (DBMS) rather than on the client. Consider the following when using this spatial relationship option:
…Existing selections prior to running the tool [must be] made using a layer definition query, not a selection set.

What does that last sentence mean? Does it mean existing selections are not allowed?

Yes, existing selections are not allowed.
