arcmap创建空间索引_Add Spatial Index (Data Management)

ArcGIS uses spatial indexes to quickly locate features in feature classes. Identifying a feature, selecting features by pointing or dragging a box, and panning and zooming all require a spatial index to locate features. The spatial index is defined by using a grid-based system that spans the extent of the features in a feature class, like a locator grid you might find on a common road map.

By default, ArcGIS creates and maintains a spatial index for geodatabase feature classes. For a geodatabase feature class to not have a spatial index, you must explicitly remove it using the

Adding a new spatial index to an enterprise geodatabase feature class is a server-intensive operation. It should not be done on large feature classes when a large number of users are logged in to the server.

For SQL Server and Oracle feature classes, if the index already exists, the index will be dropped and recreated. The bounding box will also be recalculated for SQL Server feature classes.

SAP HANA feature classes do not support spatial indexes.
