Feature Class Type: Label

A label feature class can only be created from the feature class level. Each feature class can have only one label feature class.

The default attributes of a label feature class are as follows:

Default Attributes of the Label Feature Class

FID

Primary key

FID_PARENT

Foreign key to parent table’s FID

GEOM

Label geometry = insertion point. For more information, see Oracle Spatial Users Guide and Reference.

HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT

Horizontal alignment of the label. The default is Center.

LABEL_DEF_ID

Foreign key to TB_LABEL_DEF.ID.

LABEL_TEXT

Text of the label.

ORIENTATION

Text orientation.

ORIGIN

This value is no longer used. Use alignment attributes instead. See also Label Properties: ORIGIN conversion

PRE

Label prefix.

SUF

Label suffix.

VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT

Vertical alignment of the label. The default is Halfline. See also Label Properties: Alignment

A label feature class always belongs to a parent feature class (relation FID_PARENT). Normally a label feature class has no additional columns and the application user will never edit it. The attributes of a label feature class are generated when a user places a label.
