Question #: 71

An ArcGIS has created a definition query on a parcel feature in a personal geodatabase to only show areas classified as residential. The user's company has decided to update all personal geodatabase to file geodatabases.

When the ArcGIS user updates the source data to point to the parcel feature class in the file geodatabase they receive the following error.

Parcel: An invalid SQL statement was used. [Select Shape FROM Parcel WHERE [Parcel] B residential]

Parcel: An invalid SQL statement was used"

This is confusing, can someone clarify the syntax?

The correct SQL should just be Parcel = 'residential'.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not completely confident. I remember something about how file geodatabases handle field names differently.

I feel like I’ve seen something similar in practice questions, but I can't recall if single quotes are needed around the field name.

I think the correct syntax might be just using the field name without brackets, like in option C. That seems familiar from our exercises.

I remember we practiced SQL statements for defining queries, but I'm not sure if the brackets are necessary in file geodatabases.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The error message indicates the issue is with the SQL syntax, so I'm going to go with option D and use single quotes around the field name.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the field name in the file geodatabase is likely just "Parcel" without the curly braces. I'll try option C.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the error message. It seems like the SQL statement used for the personal geodatabase is not working for the file geodatabase. I'll need to pay close attention to the differences in syntax.

This looks like a tricky SQL syntax question. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the proper syntax for a file geodatabase.

Option D seems promising, but the error message says 'Parcel', not 'Parcel'. I'm going to go with C and hope for the best.

Ha! I bet the real answer is something like 'Parcel = ''residential'''. You know how these GIS questions always have a gotcha with the quotes or something.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The options all look a bit different from the error message. Maybe we need to check the documentation for the correct syntax in a file geodatabase.

I think the correct answer is C) Parcel = residential. The error message indicates that the SQL statement is invalid, so the syntax needs to be simplified.

Yes, that's right. The SQL statement needs to be corrected to match the syntax for a file geodatabase.
