For more information about these databases, see Enterprise Geocoding Databases. |
StreetDataType |
20 |
Indicates the data initially used for the match attempt. Note that the output field StreetDataCode shows which data was actually used to obtain the match. The data indicated in StreetDataType may be different from that in StreetDataCode if a match cannot be made in the initial match attempt. For example, if a points database is loaded, Geocode US Address will first attempt a match to the point data because this is the most accurate type of match. If a point-level match cannot be made, Geocode US Address will attempt to match to street data. If the match is made using street data, then the SreetDataType would indicate the point-level data and the StreetDataCode would indicate the street data.
