Appending feature classes from one geodatabase to another geodatabase for python

How do I import a feature class into a geodatabase?

In the Catalog tree, right-click the geodatabase or feature dataset into which you want to import multiple datasets. Click Import > Feature Class (multiple). This opens the Feature Class To Geodatabase (multiple) tool from the Conversion toolbox.

How do I move data from one geodatabase to another?

You can easily copy any dataset from one geodatabase to another using the Copy tool from the Catalog tree.

1. In the Catalog tree, right-click the feature dataset, feature class, or table you want to copy.
2. Click Copy.
3. Right-click the geodatabase to which you want to copy the data.
4. Click Paste.

Can a geodatabase have many feature classes?

Generally, feature classes are thematic collections of points, lines, or polygons, but there are several feature class types. The first three are supported in databases and geodatabases. The last four are only supported in geodatabases.

Can a geodatabase store multiple feature datasets?

Geodatabases can store multiple different feature datasets within the same database file, so this makes the geodatabase a convenient and powerful method of storing data.
 

How do I merge geodatabases?

Open the Merge tool dialog box. Drag one or more similar CAD feature class types from the Catalog window into the Input Features text box. Click the Output Dataset browse button. and navigate to an existing geodatabase.

What is the difference between feature classes and feature datasets?

A feature dataset stores feature classes that have the same coordinate system and the same spatial extent, meaning they occupy the same geographic area. While all features in a feature class must have the same geometry type, the same is not true for feature datasets.

How do I copy features from one feature class to another?

Note:

1. Click the Edit tool. on the Editor toolbar.
2. Click the feature you want to copy. Hold down SHIFT while clicking features to select additional features.
3. Click the Copy button. on the Standard toolbar.

6. Click OK.

What is geodatabase replication?

Geodatabase replication allows you to create copies of data across two or more geodatabases such that changes to the data may be synchronized. Replica creation involves the user defining the data to replicate from a source geodatabase, then running a process to create replicas.

How do I Export a feature class to geodatabase?

From the Project tab of the Catalog pane, right-click the feature dataset layer and point to the Export drop-down menu. Click Feature Class(es) To Geodatabase to open the Feature Class To Geodatabase geoprocessing tool.

How do I add a feature class to ArcMap?

In the Catalog pane, right-click the feature dataset in which you want to create a feature class. Point to New > Feature Class. On the Define page of the wizard, type a name for the feature class in the Name text box. To create an alias for this feature class, type one in the Alias text box.

What can be imported into a geodatabase?

You can import feature classes into a geodatabase or feature dataset using the context menu in the Catalog pane. Shapefiles, computer-aided design (CAD) data, and geodatabase feature classes can all be imported in this way.
