Do not use ObjectID; it will give you trouble.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have had this same discussion with one of my 9-1-1 center clients; they want a gazillion aliases for a street.&nbsp; I don't go more than 2 deep; that is the real street name and two aliases.&nbsp; After that it becomes a maintenance nightmare, a database performance issue, and somewhere along the line you lose the sense of the actual street name.&nbsp; Just something to think about.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:58:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-streetmap-premium-questions/question-on-alias-fields-in-road-layer/m-p/157062#M55 JoeBorgione 2011-12-29T01:58:47Z
