Re: [udig-users] ArcSDE Direct Connect
|
Brian,
You're reasoning from ESRI terminology outwards. "Direct connect"
means that SDE basically runs on your local machine and then connects
to the database instance (Oracle, SQLServer, whatever). So SDE is
still there, it's just running in a different place. Since uDig can't
embed SDE, the idea of a "direct connect" from an ESRI point-of-view
has no meaning for uDig. The only way to have uDig access SDE data is
if you have an SDE server running.
What uDig *can* do, that ArcMap cannot, is directly access the spatial
data in the databases, such as SDO_GEOMETRY columns in Oracle, or
GEOMETRY columns in PostGIS. It does this using the database
functions directly and makes no use of SDE connections or special
tables.
