Are you sure they're in the right order when read into list_address and params? ... View more

Is the order based on a sorting definition for a particular field or set of fields? If not, you would have to reference the original order and copy each geocode row out individually in the order you want. ... View more

You can develop everything in your JavaScript Maps SDK 4.x app with plain, vanilla JavaScript. Although Esri notes on building with AMD: For new projects integrating the API into third party frameworks or build tools we recommend using local builds with @arcgis/core ES modules. You should build with ES Modules. Apparently esri-loader will be going away with the next release (4.29). heads up: esri-loader is deprecated in 4.29 of the... - Esri Community ... View more

I can't think of how this (with variable lengths) would fit into any parameter data type besides GPString. Does that work? ... View more

This reminds me of the struggles people have with their HOA and local code enforcement authorities during events like No Mow May. Changing public perception about the nature of your landscape is a big hurdle. You might be interested in reading Nature's Best Hope, by Douglas W. Tallamy. ... View more

Human development of almost every kind has a direct, negative impact on climate change. It might be good to clarify that just because you're focusing on HOAs, that is only one of many developments that should be evaluated. Your hypothesis is focused on HOAs, but you are describing how you would survey home owners, which seems like it would kind of change the focus. If you were to somehow gather HOA development and landscape requirements as set forth by the city or county, it might be better to analyze the effect of those requirements on climate change. Or maybe how many or how much of the HOA developments actually align with those requirements as built. You can still use geographic methods (GIS) to analyze current land use and land cover of HOAs to quantify adherence to city/county ordinance. This would also prevent you from having to go door to door, which is time consuming (and possibly dangerous). Depending on the "climate awareness" level of the local ordinances, you could do some analysis to demonstrate what it would take (and what it would look like) for the HOA development ordinance to actually have a positive (or maybe less negative) impact on climate and the environment. In other words, find a way to make your research actionable! You could present your findings to your local government in an effort to initiate change. Personally, I have a strong appreciation for anything that increases awareness and education for planting native. I love the idea that you are attempting to demonstrate the shortcomings of "traditional" HOA development and propose a new standard way of thinking, like planting native grasses (and trees, shrubs, and groundcover). Golf courses are also notorious for their negative environmental impact, so there's another possible target for your research. ... View more

I can't find the documentation, but I recall that ArcGIS Pro does not store the raw path to SDE connections like ArcMap did. The "strange temp directory" is the best you're going to get. ... View more

I've used cx_Oracle, now pyhton-oracledb, to do SQL specific stuff. You could use PL/SQL insert statements into your db table. You might even be able to use an arcpy insert cursor, worth a try. There's also ArcSDESQLExecute, which may or may not work. ... View more

Cool, thanks for letting me know about the truncate operation for FeatureLayer in the REST API! Truncate (Feature Layer)—ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers ... View more

What method are you using when you say you "truncate web layers in a hosted feature service"?  It looks like you need to use delete_features(), which could take a while depending on how many records you're working with. This will never match simplicity and performance of a database truncate though. I see there is also an append() method for a FeatureLayer in the ArcGIS API for Python; I didn't know about this. Although, a note on append from the REST API doc: Feature serviceAppendcapabilities must be enabled for theappendoperation to be used by nonadministrative users. Organization administrators, or the service owner, can use theappendoperation without having theAppendcapability enabled on the feature service. TheAppendcapability needs to be added to the service capabilities only if the service owner or organization administrators need to allow nonadministrative users to append data to a feature service. I haven't used the ArcGIS API for Python or hosted feature layers in Portal much so I'm sorry I can't guide you much more. If you have a specific question about deleting features from multiple layers in a feature service, you should create a separate question for that. ... View more
