How to generate the metadata Table in the SDSFIE GDB-Loader 2.6?
In the Loader, if you wish to use the Metadata tab, you must first have a FEATURE_METADATA table built within your geodatabase. This can be added using the ESRI Geodatabase Builder, even after the geodatabase has been built. During the Load, it is important to use unique META_ID values. Each layer has to use a unique value or it will overwrite the previous metadata entry. Finally, it is important to note that Feature Level metadata maintains data for each feature. The metadata that is viewed in ESRI ArcCatalog is Layer level metadata, and correlates with the entire feature class.
