Frequently Asked Questions: DFIRM Tools – Database Exporter

Why do I get an "Error in STUDY_INFO table" error message when trying to export from the geo-database to the dBase tables?

There is an invalid value stored in the DOQ_BASED field in the STUDY_INFO table. Please make sure the value is either 'T' or 'F'.

When the tables are exported to dBase format, all of the domain codes are converted to domain values. In this case, the field was not populated with a valid domain code; thus, the tool is not able to translate it into a valid domain value. The exporting process will continue when you click OK. After the exporting process is complete, correct the error that the message refers to by selecting a valid value from the domain. Save your edits and repeat the database export.
