Farragut Systems has extensive experience with ESRI's Geodatabase and their Spatial Database Engine, as well as Oracle Spatial. We have designed and implemented Geodatabases, for example, for a wide range of data types, including utility data, parcel information, water and sewer, and facilities. In addition, we have developed a number of applications that utilize GIS and database connectivity. These integrated applications have been developed for a wide range of customers including municipal, environmental and emergency management implementations  

We have designed and implemented Databases and Geodatabases for a large number of entities, incluing Boulder County, CO, Wake County, NC, tarrant Regional Water District, TX and the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Key Benefits

Consistency and accuracy of the database are key to successful operations
The latest technologies, such as ESRI's Spatial Data Engine (SDE), ensure speed and precision
The security of the data can be defined and assured

Capabilities

The development of a database dictionary is a necessary first step in designing and implementing a GIS database.  Farragut typically builds and tests a database dictionary during a Pilot Project, revises it based on comments received, and produces a final version prior to implementing a GIS database. The database dictionary is developed with extensive input by the customer to ensure that it addresses critical database issues, such as required linkages.

A database dictionary includes, but is not limited to the following:

GIS datasets, feature classes (point, line, polygon) and naming conventions
Data sources
Feature attribute tables
External DBMS database tables (e.g., CAMA)
Foreign and primary keys used to link tables
Item definitions for all feature attributes and DBMS tables
Attribute descriptions and ranges of valid values

Farragut also has long-term experience in data translation and has translated data from various CAD formats (for example, AutoCAD and MicroStation) into GIS-formatted files for use in ArcInfoTM, ArcCAD, and ArcView® GIS.

Our process for data translation includes the following:

Data translation from CAD to GIS, including building of topology
Editing and correction
Edge-matching
Database linkage setup
Production of final check plots, and final QA/QC
Tiling of the GIS database

In the integration of GIS and databases, Farragut has developed a number of applications that utilize GIS and database connectivity.  Some of our integrated GIS and database applications include municipal, environmental, and emergency management implementations.

Farragut's database experience covers:

Relational databases including ORACLE, SQL Server, MS Access, SYBASE, and INFORMIX
GIS and Database Integration
GIS and CAMA Integration
GIS and Document Management Systems Integration
ODBC Connectivity
OLE DB
SQL
