Removes a value from a coded value domain.
Usage tips
-
Workspace domains can also be managed in ArcCatalog. Domains can be created and modified through the Domains tab on the Database Properties dialog box.
-
The Code Value parameter 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 Code Value parameter may not be populated with values. The Add Value button allows you to add expected values so you can complete the Delete Coded Value From Domain dialog 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: Update an attribute domain to constrain valid|material values
# 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 = "E:/arcgis/ArcTutor/BuildingaGeodatabase"
# Set variable for domain name
domname = "Material"
# Process: Remove the constraint from the material field
gp.RemoveDomainFromField("Montgomery.mdb/Water/DistribMains", "MATERIAL")
# Edit the domain values
# Process: Remove a coded value from the domain
gp.DeleteCodedValueFromDomain("Montgomery.mdb", domname, "ACP: Asbestos concrete")
# Process: Create a table from the domain to edit it with ArcMap editing tools
gp.DomainToTable("Montgomery.mdb", domname, "Montgomery.mdb/" + domname , "TYPE", "DESCRIPT")
# Process: Delete the domain
gp.DeleteDomain("Montgomery.mdb", domname)
# Edit the domain table outside of geoprocessing
# and then bring the domain back in with the TableToDomain process
except:
# If an error occurred while running a tool print the messages
print gp.GetMessages()
