The Database Linking course is for technical IT staff.  Basic GGP GIS training through to Advanced GGP GIS training is a pre-requisite for this course.  A programming background would also be advantageous but is not necessary to attend the Database Linking course.  The course enables the user to link to external databases and applications and perform more complex actions.

The Database Linking course is ideal for technical staff wanting to take their GGP GIS knowledge further to perform more complex tasks.

The Course 

This course explains how to link your databases to GGP GIS, and how to create an application from scratch that links to GGP GIS. It covers Read/Write links, View links, table lookups and linking external files to GGP GIS.
