In order to export data to a spatial database, you need to specify the location of the spatial database and one or more table names in which the data will be stored. When writing to an Esri file geodatabase or personal geodatabase, you can create a new database file before writing the tables. If you are exporting data to any of the enterprise database types, you can only create tables in an existing database.
To export data to a spatial database,choose one of the following export options from the File > Export> Export to Spatial Database menu:
- Export Elevation Spatial Database... *requires Advanced
- Export Raster Spatial Database... *requires Advanced
- Export Vector Spatial Database...
When the Select Export Format Dialog is displayed, there will be three choices:
- Esri File Geodatabase Table
- Spatialite DB Table
- Spatial Database Table
Choose the option indicating the desired spatial database type, and press OK to continue.
When choosing Spatial Database Table from the list, Global Mapper will display the Open Spatial Database Dialog. Select the database connection, and click OK to continue by specifying Spatial Database Export Options.
With the Spatialite DB Table or Esri File Geodatabase Table options, Global Mapper will display the Select Esri Geodatabase Dialog. The following sections describe that dialog and the required steps to export a table.
