Uncompresses file geodatabase data.
Usage tips
-
You can uncompress a geodatabase, feature dataset, standalone feature class or table. When you uncompress a geodatabase, all feature classes and tables within it uncompress. When you uncompress a feature dataset, all its feature classes uncompress.
-
You cannot individually compress or uncompress a feature class in a feature dataset to produce a mixed state where some feature classes are compressed and others are not. Compressed feature datasets allow you to add an uncompressed feature class through operations such as creating a new, empty feature class, copying and pasting, and importing. However, you cannot edit the uncompressed feature class if there are compressed feature classes in the same feature dataset. Once you've finished adding one or more uncompressed feature classes, you can re-compress or uncompress the feature dataset so all its feature classes are either compressed or uncompressed.
