updateCursor: Raster Field

JamesCrandall — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:15:04 GMT

I couldn't find any immediate information on loading a raster field of a FGDB Feature Class. Didn't attempt to just issue it on an updateCursor yet as I wasn't sure if there are other methods. But this is pretty straight forward -- just need to Load a .png into a Raster field of a FC.

Thanks!

I see in the docs for the da.updateCursor that it says: "Raster fields are not supported."

Check.

Anyone know how to update a Raster Field?

Thanks for any comments or suggestions!

Due to time constraints, I've had to get a working solution. Like today. 🙂

So, I just went with what was available: Attachments. ew. But it works, and I guess I have to admit that the html popup is pretty sweet (plus you can publish it as a map service to ArcGIS Online and just enable that popup with the attachments and it just works. A bit clunky, certainly not user-interfac'ie/dynamic, but it works).

Rather than post all of this messy code, just know that I pretty much copied-and-pasted the AddAttachment_management sample into my def() and it just works.
