Determine which geocoding indexes go with which geocoding service

Summary

When a geocoding service is deleted, the index or indexes created are not removed automatically. Instructions provided describe how to determine which indexes coincide with which geocoding service.

Procedure

Note:
This article only refers to geocoding in ArcGIS 9.1 and older.

1. The first part of the geocoding index is based on the style of locator that was used to create the geocoding service. These are outlined below:
   
   

   Single Field				GC_KS
   US Alphanumeric Ranges			GC_GR
   US Alphanumeric Ranges Zone		GC_GRZ
   US Cities with State			GC_CTS
   US Hyphenated Ranges			GC_HY
   US Hyphenated Ranges Zone		GC_HYZ
   US One Address				GC_SS
   US One Address with Zone		GC_SZS
   US One Range				GC_SS
   US One Range with Zone			GC_SZS
   US Streets				GC_SS
   US Streets with Zone			GC_SZS
   World Cities with Country		GC_CTS

   
   
2. The second part of the name is the derived from the ID of the feature class in the GDB_Objectclasses table.
   
   A geocoding index with the name SZS6 would mean that a geocoding style of 'US Streets with Zone' was used, and that the reference feature class had an ID value of 6 in the GDB_Objectclases table.
3. Any geocoding service that has an alternate names table has an alternate Names index. This is named like the geocoding index described above but with a few minor differences.
   
   The first part of the alternate names index is based on the style of locator that was used to create the geocoding service. These are outlined below:
   
   

   US Alphanumeric Ranges (A)		GC_ALGR
   US Alphanumeric Ranges Zone(A)		GC_ALGRZ
   US Hyphenated Ranges (A)		GC_ALHY
   US Hyphenated Ranges Zone(A)		GC_ALHYZ
   US One Address (A)			GC_ALSS
   US One Address with Zone (A)		GC_ALSZS
   US One Range (A)			GC_ALSS
   US One Range with Zone (A)		GC_ALSZS
   US Streets (A)				GC_ALSS
   US Streets with Zone (A)		GC_ALSZS

   
   
4. The second part of the name is the derived from the ID of the alternate names table in the GDB_Objectclasses table.
   
   An alternate names index with the name ALSZS7 would mean that a geocoding style of 'US Streets with Zone' was used, and that the reference table had an ID value of 7 in the GDB_Objectclases table.
