Analyze (Data Management) (ArcInfo and ArcEditor only)
Release 9.3 Last modified March 8, 2012	Print all topics in : "Tools"

NOTE: This topic was updated for 9.3.1.

Updates relational database management system (RDBMS) statistics of business tables, feature tables, and delta tables along with the statistics of those tables' indexes

Usage tips

• After data loading, deleting, updating, and compressing operations, it is important to update RDBMS statistics in Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, or Informix databases.

• The Analyze function updates the statistics of business tables, feature tables, raster tables, added tables, and deleted tables along with the statistics on those tables' indexes.

• The Components to Analyze parameter's Add Value button is used only in ModelBuilder. In ModelBuilder, where the preceding tool has not been run or its derived data does not exist, the Components to Analyze parameter may not be populated with values. The Add Value button allows you to add expected values so you can complete the Analyze dialog box and continue to build your model.

• The environment settings do not have an effect on this tool.

Data types for geoprocessing tool parameters

Script example

# Purpose: Analyze a database table after data loading 

# Create the Geoprocessor object
import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()

try:
    # Set the workspace (to avoid having to type in the full path to the data every time)
    gp.Workspace =  "Database Connections/Oracle_SDE.sde"

    # Process: Update business rules statistics of a table
    gp.Analyze("oraspatial.accident", "BUSINESS") 

except
    # If an error occurred while running a tool, print the messages
    print gp.GetMessages()
