GDB Database Migration

Instructions for Use

FileGDB (ESRI File Geodatabase) is a common geographic data storage format used for managing and storing geographic information data. It supports various data types such as vector data, raster data, topology, and attribute tables. It supports migrating data from FileGDB (*.gdb) folders. If the data includes attachments, they can be migrated together with the data to the SuperMap datasource according to the corresponding relationships. During the migration process, data selection is supported. When migrating to a UDBX datasource, the original grouping structure of the data within the GDB file can be preserved.

Functional Entry

  • Data Migration Tab -> ArcGIS Data Migration -> Import GDB.

Parameter Description

  • File Path: The storage path of the GDB file.
  • Datasource: The storage location for the data after import. Supports importing into existing or newly created file-based or database datasources.
  • License Verification: Select the ArcMap license type. "Default" indicates the non-official license type of ArcMap. A Check button is provided to view the corresponding ArcGIS license information available on the current machine.
  • Charset: The default option is Auto Read. The system automatically reads the character set associated with the data in the GDB file folder. If you need to change it, you can select another Charset type from the dropdown list.
  • Select Data: Check this option to open the Select Data dialog box where you can check the data to be migrated. Supports selecting groups or datasets under groups. If unchecked, all data within the GDB will be imported at once.

The comparison of data results before and after migration is as follows:

Note:

When migrating GDB data from a PostGIS database (version > 10.x), you may encounter a connection failure error. To fix it, modify database permissions:

  • Open /data/pg_hba.config in the PostgreSQL installation directory.
  • Change the METHOD for IPv4 to trust, save the file, and restart the database.
  • If still failing, set other related METHODs to trust and restart again.

Note: Only modify for migration; restore the original configuration afterward.
