Greetings,

I am trying to create an FGDB empty geodatabase with feature datasets, feature classes & attributes.

 

I have all these information stored in a xls file, I want to read this xls and create the FGDB accordingly.

 

If anyone has a workflow, please share.

 

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @aquerisoft,

Maybe not what you are looking for, but might be helpful:

@aquerisoft There is a tutorial on working with Dynamic schemas. You'll be interested in the section: Dynamic Workflows: Destination Schema is Derived from a Lookup Table which describes how you can use a spreadsheet to define the schema of the target dataset. However, this won't create more complex structures like subtypes and domains and relationships. If your target geodatabase has these data structures, then you should follow @itay 's advice and use a Geodb as a template, or use an Esri XML Workspace document that defines your geodb schema. Both approaches are described in How to use an Esri Template Geodatabase.
