Best way to perform spatial query with buffer distance

[akshayloya]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest me, which is the best way to perform spatial query with buffer distance for huge data. I have used arcobjects at the back end but it takes lot of time.

Any help would be appreciated.

HI Akshay, have you tried using select by location within a distance?

Hi Sephe,

Select by location takes feature class as input but I've features rather.

So was wondering how I would use that.

[SepheFox]

You have what for an input? I don't really understand. What form is your data in? Huge data is not very descriptive.

The query is like:

Highlight Villages where DistrictCode is 1732 having Colleges within 1 Km.

So I'm selecting  features from village feature class which have  DistrictCode = 1732.

[SepheFox]

But these are not features? So then what are they?

[SepheFox]

I don't know what you're trying to say, but I have to assume that these are in fact features. First select by attributes from your villages layer, where District = 1732 (ArcGIS Desktop help; select by attribute​), then select by location from your villages within a distance (1km) of your colleges, using the subset selection method (ArcGIS Desktop; select by location​).

Selecting only those villages (features) from village feature class having DistrictCode = 1732
