Query Layers are Your Friends

Show me the waysInside ArcMap

• Bad Addresses– Simply looking at a

table• Sensor_PT

– Combining disparate datasources easily

• Unit Time– Making functionality

• Editing– With a little work

Services Anyone?• Polling Places

– Using them in place of conventional feature classes

• BaseMapIMS– Using them to fix

inherent problems• Auto Updates

– AVL like applications

Real Integration• Table with a geometric component

– Either a geometry/geography column– Or simply X/Y values

• Create a view to handle attributes– A replacement for SDE views, but better

• Add the view to ArcMap– Voila, you have a feature class

• Use it just like you would a “regular” feature class
