Thissolution is based within the Eos Tools Pro app, works with all Arrow GNSS receivers, and requires ArcGIS licensing. This user manual will explain the steps required to configure your web map and mobile apps as well as to collect your first data in the field. The user manual covers the following topics:

A series of ArcGIS tools have been built to define the evacuation routes using G.I.S. spatial analysis techniques; the tools are assembled into the EVACUATION ROUTES TOOLS ArcGIS toolbox that will allow users to apply the method to their own case study. The methodology considers only pedestrian evacuation. This manual will support you step by step in the use of the toolbox, leading you to the choice of best (in terms of time) evacuation routes in the risk areas.


The Library collection includes several types of manuals and tutorials. Look for them in the call number range G 70.2 through G 70.4 in Berry Level 4. The manuals give step by step instructions in using the software, while the tutorials provide data and scenarios to help solve particular problems or questions. The following subject search for "arcgis" in the online catalog will lead you to various resources for the software. You must have the software installed to take full advantage of the tutorials or manuals.


SQL for ArcGIS Pro makes it easy for ArcGIS Pro users to enjoy the outstanding power of real SQL. The add-in provides full SQL capabilities when working in ArcGIS Pro with vector layers from file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, or GPKG or SQLite layers. The add-in also provides an Advanced mode for using SQL with hundreds of other data sources, including shapefiles, rasters like GeoTIFFs, and many other file formats and other data sources.


SQL is powered by a version of the Manifold Release 9 spatial engine that has been adapted with special support for ArcGIS Pro. The add-in automatically runs fully parallel, both CPU parallel and GPU parallel, and it includes hundreds of spatial SQL functions for vectors, rasters, and attribute data.


Although the primary mission of SQL for ArcGIS Pro is to provide SQL for vector layers from file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, or GPKG or SQLite layers that have been added to the ArcGIS Pro project, the add-in also includes hundreds of other Manifold features that can be used in Advanced mode but which have not been closely integrated into ArcGIS Pro. For example, Advanced mode provides access to point and click dialogs that capture the power of SQL with no need to write queries, as well as sophisticated transform, selection, analytic, editing and visualization capabilities.


Over time, Manifold plans to custom tailor more and more of those other features to provide a better user experience with ArcGIS Pro. In the meantime, by using the add-in's Advanced mode, users who would like to explore beyond SQL can take advantage of the many Manifold features as they are.


This documentation covers features specific to SQL together with the most relevant related features in the initial SQL for ArcGIS Pro chapter. Features not directly relevant to using SQL are covered in the Advanced chapter.


Most topics in the Advanced chapter are unmodified Release 9 topics that are the same as published for other Manifold products. Using unmodified Release 9 topics makes it possible to immediately provide new Manifold features to SQL users as soon as they become available in any Manifold product.


To launch SQL, launch ArcGIS Pro, open a project, then click the Add-In tab and press the Open SQL button in the sql4arc group. To close the add-in, press the X symbol in the upper right corner of the window, or choose File - Exit in the add-in's menu.


When launched, SQL scans the ArcGIS Pro project and connects directly to all file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, and GPKG or SQLite layers that are used in the project. Tables and their fields from those geodatabases or layers will populate the lower right pane in the SQL add-in. We can double-click those to add to queries in the main, upper, text pane without having to manually keyboard long names of tables or fields. A sample query appears in the text pane to help us get started.


The add-in's desktop runs in a separate session from the ArcGIS Pro session, with special links maintaining communications between the two sessions. To ensure reliable operation, if Arc crashes the SQL add-in will continue to run. If you would like to close the ArcGIS Pro session or use it with a different project, you can do that and SQL will continue running on the session it has loaded. To resynchronize with whatever is the new ArcGIS Pro session, close SQL and then relaunch the add-in from Pro.


File geodatabases and mobile geodatabases can handle connections from more than one process. By connecting directly, SQL can read and write data from the geodatabases much faster than passing requests through the ArcGIS Pro session. The SQL add-in maintains bidirectional connections with ArcGIS Pro. Comments below apply to both file geodatabases and mobile geodatabases.


If the ArcGIS Pro project contains layers from data sources that do not allow simultaneous read/write connections from more than one process, such as shapefiles, SQL will not see those layers and will not be able to work with them while they are part of the ArcGIS Pro project.


If the ArcGIS Pro project contains layers from data sources that do allow simultaneous read/write connections from more than one process but which are not file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, and GPKG or SQLite layers, SQL can work with those data sources if we add them manually in Advanced mode. Enterprise geodatabases (not yet automatically loaded by SQL for ArcGIS Pro) are a good example of such data sources that can be added manually in Advanced mode.


SQL contains a very fast database engine that can store vast amounts of data. It is faster in many cases for spatial work than even enterprise DBMS packages like PostgreSQL. That enables SQL to work on its own, independently of ArcGIS Pro, to link to data sources to which ArcGIS Pro cannot connect. SQL can also import data into its own internal database from a vast range of file formats, databases, and other data sources, if desired saving the imported data within its own extremely fast file format. That enables using the add-in's own internal storage as scratch pad storage to save intermediate results in complex workflow involving a sequence of queries, to provide better performance and the ability to work with larger data sets.


Advanced mode simply means turning on additional controls within the SQL desktop that enable Manifold features beyond SQL for file geodatabases, for example, allowing SQL independently to connect to and to work with data sources other than file geodatabases that are used within the ArcGIS Pro project.


For example, we can turn on the Project pane in the SQL desktop to maintain a roster of data sources that are linked into SQL independently of ArcGIS Pro, or which have been imported into the add-in's internal database. When using Advanced mode the add-in works with a vast range of other data sources that can be imported or linked into the add-in's project, such as shapefiles, rasters, and many other types of GIS data.


In Advanced mode, we can link to enterprise geodatabases or to file or mobile geodatabases that are not currently used within the ArcGIS Pro project, and we can write SQL that uses tables in those data sources in addition to tables in the geodatabases that are used within the ArcGIS Pro project. We can connect to or import from file formats such as shapefiles, or GeoTIFF, or a seemingly endless range of other file formats. That is a great way to use SQL to transform or otherwise to manipulate data sets, such as shapefiles, which we intend to use in our ArcGIS Pro project. Do the work first in SQL, and then add the resulting data set layers to the ArcGIS Pro project.


Advanced mode is also great for working with enterprise geodatabases that are part of the ArcGIS Pro project. Current SQL builds do not automatically connect to enterprise geodatabases that are used in the ArcGIS Pro project, but we can manually connect to them in Advanced mode and work with them.


Visit the Product Downloads web page for SQL for ArcGIS Pro installation packages. SQL requires the latest version of ArcGIS Pro. Installation packages are automatically updated to track Esri releases of ArcGIS Pro.


Manifold strongly recommends using the latest Edge build. Although Edge builds are technically beta builds, they are rock-solid reliable and include the latest bug fixes, which a Base build issued two months prior will not have. Don't be scared of using Edge builds. Learn how to work with portable installations and quite likely you'll never go back to using Windows Installer. However, if you prefer a Windows Installer installation, do not hesitate to download and to use whatever is the latest Base build.


In either case, newer versions of SQL for ArcGIS Pro are free to download. If SQL for ArcGIS Pro has been activated on a machine, no new activation will be required to uninstall an older build and to then install a newer build. SQL builds are cumulative, including all new features and fixes issued in previous builds. You do not need to install any previous builds to get everything in the latest build.


When launched, SQL automatically checks if a new Base build has been released. SQL does not automatically check for updates for new Edge builds, which are announced in the georeference.org user forum.


See the What's New in the Latest Build topic for changes in the latest build. That topic is updated within a day or two of a new build being issued. Notes on changes will help you get started with new features while comprehensive updates to documentation are prepared and published.


The SQL GUI uses English by default. To use other languages for the GUI, provide a localization file as discussed in the Localization topic. Localization files, of course, do not translate SQL key words since SELECT is SELECT in SQL for French users as well as for English users, but it can be handy to have various menus and point and click dialogs translated to your own native language.
