To Delete a Schema

When you delete a schema , feature class , or property in the Schema Editor, its icon disappears from the Schema tree, along with the icons of its child elements (if any). However, the changes are not transferred to the underlying feature source until you apply them.

To delete schema elements

  1. Connect to the feature source containing the schema elements to delete.
  2. In Map Explorer, right-click the desired connection in the connection tree and select Edit Schema.
  3. In the Schema Editor, expand the Schema tree to see its feature classes and properties.
  4. Right-click the schema, feature class, or property to delete, and click Delete for that schema element.
  5. When prompted, click Yes to confirm the deletion.

    The Schema tree updates to show the deletion.

  6. Repeat the preceding two steps as required to delete other schema elements.
  7. Click OK to make all the deletions permanent.
