{
// Create a TableDescription object
TableDescription tableDescription = new TableDescription(table.GetDefinition());
// Create a SchemaBuilder object
SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
// Add the deletion of the table to our list of DDL tasks
schemaBuilder.Delete(tableDescription);
// Execute the DDL
bool success = schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Deleting a Feature Class
public void DeleteFeatureClassSnippet(Geodatabase geodatabase, FeatureClass featureClass)
{
// Create a FeatureClassDescription object
FeatureClassDescription featureClassDescription = new FeatureClassDescription(featureClass.GetDefinition());
// Create a SchemaBuilder object
SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
// Add the deletion fo the feature class to our list of DDL tasks
schemaBuilder.Delete(featureClassDescription);
// Execute the DDL
bool success = schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Deleting a FeatureDataset
public void DeleteFeatureDatasetSnippet(Geodatabase geodatabase)
{
// Deleting a FeatureDataset named as 'Parcel_Information'
FeatureDatasetDefinition featureDatasetDefinition = geodatabase.GetDefinition<FeatureDatasetDefinition>("Parcel_Information");
FeatureDatasetDescription featureDatasetDescription =
new FeatureDatasetDescription(featureDatasetDefinition);
SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
// Delete an existing feature dataset named as 'Parcel_Information'
schemaBuilder.Delete(featureDatasetDescription);
schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Removing attribute index
public void RemoveAttributeIndex(SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder, FeatureClassDefinition featureClassDefinition, string attributeIndexName)
{
// Find a index to be removed
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Index indexToRemove = featureClassDefinition.GetIndexes().First(f => f.GetName().Equals(attributeIndexName));
// Index description of the index to be removed
AttributeIndexDescription indexDescriptionToRemove = new AttributeIndexDescription(indexToRemove, new TableDescription(featureClassDefinition));
// Enqueue the DDL operation to remove index
schemaBuilder.Delete(indexDescriptionToRemove);
// Execute the delete index operation
bool isDeleteIndexSuccess = schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Removing spatial index
public void RemoveSpatialIndex(SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder, FeatureClassDefinition featureClassDefinition)
{
// Create a spatial description
SpatialIndexDescription spatialIndexDescription = new SpatialIndexDescription(new FeatureClassDescription(featureClassDefinition));
// Enqueue the DDL operation to remove index
schemaBuilder.Delete(spatialIndexDescription);
// Execute the delete index operation
bool isDeleteIndexSuccess = schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Delete domain
public void DeleteDomain(Geodatabase geodatabase, string domainNameToBeDeleted = "PipeMaterial")
{
SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(geodatabase);
CodedValueDomain codedValueDomain = geodatabase.GetDomains().First(f => f.GetName().Equals(domainNameToBeDeleted)) as CodedValueDomain;
CodedValueDomainDescription codedValueDomainDescription = new CodedValueDomainDescription(codedValueDomain);
// Deleting a coded value domain
schemaBuilder.Delete(codedValueDomainDescription);
schemaBuilder.Build();
}
Deleting a relationship class
public void DeleteRelationshipClass(SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder, RelationshipClassDefinition relationshipClassDefinition)
{
schemaBuilder.Delete(new RelationshipClassDescription(relationshipClassDefinition));
schemaBuilder.Build();
