You were not able to add a domain to fields on a table created with the File Geodatabase API (NIM074135). This has been fixed in the 1.2 release, which will be available this week. With alter field working correctly you can add a domain to a field in one step and the API is operating as designed. NIM072315 is an enhancement. With the current design you can add domains to fields. NIM072315 just changes the way you have to code this. NIM074135 slipped through because our test used an existing feature class. We have corrected this test to create the test table. ... View more

Compact only removes orphan locks (which rarely exist). The only way to orphan a lock is to pull the plug on your PC. The locks hanging around means that some process is holding on to them. The lock name includes the file name, the name of the machine, thread id and the process id. ... View more

The only way a lock file will persist is if a process is maintaining it.The lock files are created as "delete on close" so the operating system will delete them when the creating process closes. If the creating process has not closed the locks will remain until the process is deleted. You should never need to restart you PC to clear the locks. Is your file geodatabase local or on a network disk? What version of ArcGIS are you using? ... View more

The problem in this case is with the grid sizes that you defined in the .xml file. They are not valid. To fix this change: <GridSize0>0.983688354492188</GridSize0> <GridSize1>3.04943389892578</GridSize1> <GridSize2>9.45324508666992</GridSize2> To: <GridSize0>0</GridSize0> <GridSize1>0</GridSize1> <GridSize2>0</GridSize2> This is a flag to calculate the spatial index grid size based on the contained features. If you do this the feature class behaves correctly. ... View more

The problem from the other thread will only happen when the code is run on Linux. Display with ArcMap will be messed up if you zoom in. Data generated on Windows should not have this problem. ... View more

The tables are pairs .gdbtable and .gdbtablx. They are both binary files. The .gdbtablx file is the index to the .gdbtable. If either are removed the data is non-recoverable. What most commonly happens with file geodatabase corruption is the meta data tables are removed. This tool will read all of the .gdbtable, .gdbtablx pairs that it finds and recover them based on the header information from the .gdbtable. The a00000001.gdbtable is usually the catalog. ...
