FAQ:  Can a version 10 file or personal geodatabase be converted to a previous version geodatabase?

【解决方案】
A version 10 geodatabase cannot be converted to a version 9.3, or earlier, database. However, a version 9.3 or 9.2 geodatabase can be created in ArcGIS for Desktop with the Create File GDB or Create Personal GDB geoprocessing tool.


Create a previous version geodatabase
The instructions provided below describe how to create a version 9.3 or 9.2 geodatabase in ArcGIS for Desktop 10.

1. Navigate to ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Workspace and select either Create File GDB or Create Personal GDB.

2. In the Create File GDB dialog box, specify location and name for the new geodatabase.

3. In the geodatabase version drop-down menu, select the file version for the new geodatabase.

4. Click OK.


Export/Import data between geodatabases
