Bringing In Features From SQLite
When you view and edit features from a SQLite file, you can do the following:
■ Select the feature classes to include in your map.
■ Set conditions to limit the features in your map.
■ Style, theme, and edit the features.
■ Automatically update the data source with any edits you make.
Your edits are visible as soon as another person views the saved data file.
■ View and edit the schema definition.
■ Move data from other geospatial sources (for example, SHP data) into
SQLite, to take advantage of better data sharing.
You can bring SQLite data into your map in two ways:
■ Use Data Connect to view and edit the data directly in the SQLite file. Use
this method to edit geometry and attributes or to style and theme the data.
For information, click the Procedure tab at the top of this Help topic.
■ Import the data into the current map, which converts the SQLite data to
drawing objects. Use this method to clean the data or to create a DWG
file. You can export the objects back to SQLite.
