Click this link to learn more about OLE DB connection terminology This type of connection is most commonly used to connect ArcGIS Pro to data sources that support OLE DB but cannot be accessed from the list of supported database platforms on the Database Connection dialog box. In ArcGIS Pro, you can establish an Object Linking and Embedding Database (OLE DB) connection (read-only) to access tabular data sources from any database that supports OLE DB, and for which you have the driver. > This workflow, will be addressed in the next blog of this series and will provide access to several migration tools. Option 2: Access your spatial data by migrating the personal geodatabases to either a file or mobile geodatabases.> Continue reading below for more details and options using OLE DB connections. Option 1: Access your tabular data by establishing an OLE DB connection (read-only) from ArcGIS Pro.If you are currently using one or more personal geodatabases in ArcMap, here are some options for using the data in ArcGIS Pro depending on your workflows: While personal geodatabases are not supported within ArcGIS Pro, meaning you can’t create, update, or delete data from ArcGIS Pro, you can still connect to personal geodatabases (.mdb) and other data sources such as Microsoft Access databases (.accdb). But wait! If personal geodatabases (.mdb) are not supported in ArcGIS Pro, how will we be able to connect to and use our data in a personal geodatabase from ArcGIS Pro? In the first blog of this series, It’s Not Personal, It’s Mobile, I explained why personal geodatabases are not supported in ArcGIS Pro. Just like the diverse types and purposes of bridges, and methods to access and use them, there are also different types and purposes of data, and various methods for us to connect and use this data.ĭata connections allow us to view, add, update, or remove data. Similar to the vital connections bridges provide, the ability to connect to and access data is just as vital within GIS! Underside of Pittsburgh bridge structure (©Andrew - ) What pleasantly surprised me the most during our family trip was discovering the dynamic landscape of all its steep hillsides, boroughs, valleys, and rivers that traverse this city.Īs a result of its dynamic landscape, and its location at the convergent point of three large rivers (Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio), I discovered that Pittsburgh is surrounded by water and has bridges everywhere! In fact, Pittsburgh is known as the city of bridges-446 bridges, to be exact, call this city home. So, the anticipation of our family spending almost a week in what I expected would be more of an industrious smog-laden city seemed a bit ( and I dare say), dreadful, and secretly wished we were heading to the beach.įast forward a week and as our trip to this city quickly drew to a close, I’ll admit (ehem…listen up as I don’t say this often), I was wrong! I found Pittsburgh to be a beautiful city and have a whole new appreciation for this city of steel that launched America’s industrial revolution. My only recollection of Pittsburgh occurred more than 30 years ago and lasted all of about 2 minutes as I passed through this city at 65 mph in a bus on my way to a summer youth camp from Florida. Recently, while packing for an upcoming 5-day family trip to Pittsburgh, PA, (a.k.a, the steel city) to trace back some of my in-law’s family roots, I realized that I had been to (or through) Pittsburgh only once before.
