Currently, the geodatabase is rounding to six decimal places and I need the latitude and longitude decimal places to go to 10 places behind the decimal as shown in the original data. Is this possible? The geodatabase writer that I am using is uses dynamic properties.

If your DBMS supports it, specify DOUBLE(15,10) when creating the fields, this will support -nnn.nnnnnnnnnn. File GDB doesn't support this.


Thank you!

Optionally if you are writing to a fgdb you can use a text data type for the coordinates.

In a File Geodatabase you should use the DOUBLE data type.
