00007: Layer's definition query is invalid
This ArcGIS 10.3 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.
In this topic
Your document contains a layer with an invalid definition query. The query may be invalid due to the schema of the data source changing or it may be using incorrect syntax.
Solutions
- Fix the syntax of the query definition.
- Alternatively, you can add all the features back into the layer display. To do this, delete the query.
- You can also choose to remove the layer from your document.
More information
If you only want to display features with certain attributes in a feature layer, you can apply a definition query to the layer. For example, you may want to display only cities with a population above a certain value. You enter a query expression to define your definition query.
