I have a script that takes an input feature class and uses a field within this class to create a definition query for each unique field. question how to do this is listed below saving layers for each unique attribute
My Script works when I have one file
I am now interested in using more than one field variable within the query. Ideally I like to use three.
My Fields are going to be COUNTRY , SPORT , MEDIA
The definition query would be something like
"Country"= 'a_country' AND "Sport"= 'a_sport' AND "MEDIA "= 'a_Media_type'
Now the problem is that this definition will only work in some cases. Not all countries will do a given sport and therefore will not have a media type associated with that sport. Also if a country does have a sport , it might not have that media type. So i need some way of not creating layers if these relationships between the fields do not exist.
At the moment the below code will create layer files for all the possible examples , many of which don't exist see code below
import arcpyfrom arcpy import env# This is where the environment is being set , and the file is being picked up fromlocation = r"U:\Stage_Area\GIS\Users\Team_Members\TWATER\DATA_SPORTS.gdb"arcpy.env.workspace = location# the feature class Source_File = "OVERVIEW"# Field to be used User_Feild_1 = "COUNTRY"User_Feild_2 = "SPORT"User_Feild_3 = "MEDIA"## This is the part where a seperate list of unique values are being created for each feild The_list_User_Feild_1 = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor (Source_File,User_Feild_1)]# All of the values are listed and they need to be stripped down to only unique ones , which can be used within the lopp Unique_list_1 = set(The_list_User_Feild_1)print Unique_list_1 The_list_User_Feild_2 = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Source_File,User_Feild_2)] # All of the values are listed and they need to be stripped down to only unique ones , which can be used within the lopp Unique_list_2 = set(The_list_User_Feild_2) print Unique_list_2 The_list_User_Feild_3 = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Source_File,User_Feild_3)] # All of the values are listed and they need to be stripped down to only unique ones , which can be used within the lopp Unique_list_3 = set(The_list_User_Feild_3)print Unique_list_3## The Where_clause builds the defination query inside the last loop for value in Unique_list_2: for Second_Value in Unique_list_1: for thrid_value in The_list_User_Feild_3: #This the name the layer that is being temporily created name_of_layer = str(Second_Value)+'_'+ str(value) + '_'+ str(thrid_value) out_layer = name_of_layer #MakeFeatureLayer variables in_features = Source_File where_clause = '"' + User_Feild_1 + '"' + " = " + "'" + Second_Value + "'" + " AND " + '"' + User_Feild_2 + '"' + " = " + "'" + value + "'" + " AND " + '"' + User_Feild_3 + '"' + " = " + "'" + thrid_value + "'" print '\n',where_clause arcpy.env.workspace = r"U:\Stage_Area\GIS\Users\Team_Members\TWATER\DATA_SPORTS.gdb" try: # Execute MakeFeatureLayer arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(in_features, name_of_layer, where_clause) # Execute SaveToLayerFile ## this is the location where i like the files to be saved out arcpy.env.workspace = r"U:\Stage_Area\GIS\Users\Team_Members\TWATER\DATA_SPORTS" arcpy.SaveToLayerFile_management(name_of_layer, out_layer, "ABSOLUTE") except: print arcpy.GetMessages()I was wondering some had some approaches , ideas of working with these variables. I found a similar post here.
This has a definition , but it seems to be specific to the tool its using. Also i was struggling to understand the concept
