There is no SQL parameter like the Select_analysis() tool. Rather it uses the current selection set that was created by SelectByAttributes, SelectByLocation, or some other "selecty-type" tool.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:48:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/exporting-data-to-a-new-feature-class/m-p/197062#M15114 ChrisSnyder 2012-02-23T17:48:44Z Re: Exporting Data to a New Feature Class https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/exporting-data-to-a-new-feature-class/m-p/197063#M15115 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Actually, the 'Select_analysis' tool exports only the selected features as well, without requiring an SQL parameter.
