Summary
A GIS is only as good as the data that powers it. Geodatabase administration is crucial in keeping a well maintained, performant geodatabase that users will be able to utilize efficiently. In this chapter, we discussed how to create a geodatabase, connect to it, create accounts for users to access it, load data into it, manage user privileges, manage user connections, and perform routine maintenance. Next up in Chapter 3, Publishing Content, we will look at using our data in published content in ArcGIS Server.
