Thanks Ken for the response. I'm not familiar with spatial indexes or updating them. I believe the problem resulted from a spatial join I conducted on my data. Each resulting feature class as about 200 GB. After deleting these 3 features classes, my dataset is down to about 25 GB total, much more reasonable. Thanks again, Jan E.

Yes, I know it's big. I think part of the problem is I put all my data in 1 geodatabase instead of smaller ones. Included in the database are: 1) Facility Points (1 feature class per year, 8 years), 2) geographic boundary files for the whole U.S. (counties, states, block groups), 3) associated geographic centroids (block groups only), 4) Service Areas broken into 3 travel zones (0-10, 10-30, 30-60 min) for ~4,000 facilities, 5) tables with attributes for these facilities, and 6) various spatial joins of the previously listed feature classes (the biggest of which has about 1.5 million records, i.e., attributes of block groups that fall within these service areas). The database is so big I can't copy it to a local drive (not enough space). It's all on a network drive. And exporting some of the data to a different geodatabase is hard too, given the slowness (or crashes) I'm experiencing. - Jan

I am using Version 10 and all the data is in vector form (admistrative boundaries, service area polygons, facility points, etc...). Jan

ESRI users and staff, I have a major problem with using data from a file geodatabase. I have created a map that uses data from a geodatabase around 600 GB (HUGE, I know). I don't think I should compress it, because I still need to do a lot of edits on various feature classes. The file is so big that it takes forever to load my .mxd, do simple calculations in field calculator, delete a variable from a table, or export to other formats (e.g., shapefile). In fact, most of the time, ArcMap stops responding altogether or gives me error messages. Please help! I don't want to start over from stratch. I've been working on this database almost a year. Any ideas??? Sincerely, Jan E.
