Is there a way using c# or arcpy to use a polygon to cut a hole in a database through lines, points, and polygons, like a reverse cookie cutter? This is without having to import and export the whole database. Just cut the hole in place in the database.

1In ArcGIS, databases are used to store spatial data. Are you referring to performing the operation without exporting a feature class or shapefile? If so, that's generally not recommended (or possible). Rather, try any of the following commands: 1) Symmetrical Difference, 2) Erase, or 3) Union and then delete the "cookie cutter" features. – Aaron Jul 31 '16 at 15:26

Programming questions are expected to have code. Once you've started the process it will be easier to figure out what you're intending. – Vince Jul 31 '16 at 15:32
