Adding a spatial index
When you create a feature class, a spatial index is automatically created and optimized for
that feature class. At any time, you can drop and recreate the spatial index by performing
the following steps:
1. Open
ArcCatalog
and browse to the
Bestaurants
geodatabase.
2. Right-click on the
Food_and_Drinks
feature class and select
Properties...
.
3. Click on the
Indexes
tab.
4. In the
Spatial Index
section, click on
Delete
to delete the spatial index.
5. Click on
Create
if you want to create the spatial index again.
6. Close
ArcCatalog
.
Note
Deleting and recreating the spatial reference is a good exercise on a geodatabase that is fre-
quently edited, as that will ensure consistency in spatial querying.
