10005: <value> data source is a personal geodatabase
In this topic
You are using a personal geodatabase, which can perform poorly in many situations. The case that the geodatabase is being used is captured in the <value> parameter. These cases include:
- Layer's data source is a personal geodatabase
- Layer's join data source is a personal geodatabase
- Layer's relate data source is a personal geodatabase
- Stand-alone table's data source is a personal geodatabase
- Stand-alone table's join data source is a personal geodatabase
- Stand-alone table's relate data source is a personal geodatabase
Solution
First, check the drawing performance of your basemap layer in ArcMap. See Working with basemap layers for more information.
- If you see the need to make changes, convert your personal geodatabase to a file geodatabase or enterprise geodatabase. See Geodatabase Migration for more information.

Generally speaking, Esri recommends migrating your geodatabases to file geodatabases and enterprise geodatabases to not only improve performance but also to scale your geodatabases to larger sizes.
For best performance with geodatabases, use either enterprise geodatabases or file geodatabases. In some cases, where there are many simultaneous users, enterprise geodatabases are faster. Since enterprise geodatabases are DBMS based, they will scale better than file geodatabases in situations where you have a large number of users (for example, hundreds of users or more).
