Update/Redefine Spatial Extent of SDE Feature classes.

DennisH — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:15:32 GMT

Is it possible to update/redefine the the 'Domain' of an SDE feature class that already exists. (Max X, Max Y, Min X, Min Y)

Thanks!

Domain and extent are very different things. The extent of a layer can always be adjusted,
usually through the use of 'sdelayer -o alter -E minx,miny,maxx,maxy'.

The domain (coordinate reference) can never be adjusted, since it defines the origin of
the encoded shapes.

Hi there,

Just to add onto what Vince posted, please review this whitepaper for more background info:

Hope this helps,
