Hi Listers
I am sure you are all aware that because the GDB sits in a RDBMS it
allows attribute relationships to be developed (such as one-to-many and
dependables). Of course, in the basic SHP format each object can only
have one 'record' (row in the dbf) as the SHX enforces a one-to-one
relationship class.
What I am interested in is how to handle translations between GDB and
SHP with respect to these relationships. Are you forced to duplicate
objects in the SHP to store more than one attribute? Or is there
another way of achieving this conversion? ESRI do not seem to have
placed much importance on this problem, just the basic ArcCatalog
tools...
If anyone can point me to any research, documentation, advice, etc on
this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
