Staging data to parcel fabric in SQL geodatabase

[JoeJohns]

Is it necessary to migrate data to a parcel fabric in a SQL based geodatabase from a SQL based staging geodatabase, or can the staging database be a file geodatabase? Thanks, Joe J.

Hi Joe,

The staging geodatabase can be a file geodatabase and migrated using XML import or Copy/Paste through ArcGIS for Desktop. During the migration process you will be able to choose which configuration keyword that you would like to use (i.e. Geometry, Geography, Binary, etc).  ArcGIS will handle all the conversions for you.

Christian,

Just what I needed to know. I recall being told a couple of years ago that it was necessary to migrate using the same kind of geodatbase but couldn't find any detailed info on it now. All the new developments/options over the last couple of years has really made things much more simple. Thanks for the prompt response.
