Introduction

  • Objective of this section
    • To load spatial information tables included in spatial databases
  • Topics in this section
    • Accessing spatial databases: UDSs definition using connection and setting parameters
    • Schemas and classes: structures of tables contained in databases
    • Other connections like ODBC, etc.


How can I load a data Table from a spatial database or data store into a Map in Spatial Manager Desktop™?

To access spatial databases or data stores you need first to have defined a User Data Source (UDS) including all the parameters to connect with (to learn more about UDSs, see: Data sources page)

You can load a data Table from a spatial database or data store using the right-click menu over the Table item itself inside a container of the UDS (usually a Schema), in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map. You can also double-click over the Table item itself, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map (this behaviour may be configured in the application settings)
