What is the relationship between a geodatabase a feature class and a feature dataset?

In the geodatabase, feature classes can be standalone or they can be organized into larger units called 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.

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.
 

What is the best way to copy geospatial data like shapefiles and geodatabases?

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.

Is a feature class A dataset?

Feature Dataset vs Feature Class
Feature Datasets is a collection of spatially related feature classes that share a common coordinate system. Feature class is a collection of geographic features with the same geometry type.

Is a feature class the same as a shapefile?

Shapefiles are a type of feature class. A feature class is a collection of common features that share geometry, attribute fields and in GIS, a spatial reference.
