Thanks Derek. I fully understand and I was not comparing enterprise GIS (Web) with versioning. I do understanding that versioning will be honoured but will that be similar to what is available on ArcMap or will it have some limitataion on the web. Thanks MAnoj ... View more

Hi , Few more cons 1.   Lack of snapping 2. Editing of line feature geometry is not very user friendly. Thanks Manoj ... View more

Thanks Rebecca. Much appreciated. Actually I was coming from deployment or solution architecture point of view. But I got your answer that its not one stop shop and probably won't be easy to have one created as well. ... View more

A terabyte is trivial amount of raster data, but it's a lot of vector data. ST_GEOMETRY has improved over the years -- There have been ten minor releases since 9.3.1 SP2 (twelve since 9.3.1), but you don't have access to any of them. You're looking at using retired software for a significant change to your database. I would not recommend this. To answer your questions: 1) No 2) No way to even provide a glimmer (all dependent on missing information) 3) Tons of concerns 4) Absolutely 5) Why are you hoping that? - V Vince, Thanks for response. Its vector data with Geometric network and open versions. I agree that 9.3.1 is retired but we have certain dependancy. Going to 10.2 will take almost 12-15 months minimum. You can say then 10.2 will be slightly outdated :). I am also exploring the option even if that is suggested or having mileage in converting to ST_GEOMETRY after upgrading to 10.2. From your response I am getting glimpse that should be done. Thanks a lot. ... View more

One of the driving force behind the above thought is sharing the data with non ESRI component with in the organization stream like big data etc. ... View more

Nathan, Yes, we do listen to users and customers.  In a future version of ArcGIS Explorer (post 2012) their likely will be changes to the available symbols and the user experience for working with them.  We have thousands of enhancement requests and software ideas in our database; often the requested enhancement is the most important issue for the person that submitted it. We are well aware that when we do not address an issue, the person that submitted it will be disappointed, and we do not take this lightly. Our users' needs are important to us too! We have the challenge of prioritizing all of these requests against one another and defining a project to address the requests in a reasonable time frame.  We also have to look at the ArcGIS Explorer Desktop product and weigh whether the requested functionality is a good fit.   This is particularly true of functionality that exists in other Esri software products.  ArcGIS Explorer Desktop is not a copy of ArcMap or ArcGlobe.  ArcGIS Explorer is meant to be complimentary software for visualizing content created by ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap, ArcGlobe, ArcScene) and ArcGIS Server.  It's primary role is to allow those who do not have ArcGIS Desktop to work with and view the content created by those who do have ArcGIS Desktop.  ArcGIS Explorer Desktops availability and price point (free download) lowers the bar for accessing / viewing ArcGIS content. ArcGIS Explorer does have capabilities for viewing "raw data"... shapefiles, geodatabase, rasters, text files, but admittedly there is not a strong cartographic toolset for defining how this data should be displayed (ex. symbolize by attribute). At this time ArcGIS Explorer map authoring is focused on assembling content that has already been cartographically rendered (ArcGIS layers, Services, Web Maps).   As ArcGIS Explorer evolves the functionality and user experience in this area could change. Your enhancement requests are important to us and will be considered as we continue to enhance existing software and create new software products. We do have requests for specific symbols and symbolsets in our user requests database. Thanks, Mark Hi Mark, My client is one of the biggest customer of ESRI. Recently we are planning to use ArcGIS explorer for large offline user base and one the main obstacle is symbology. No doubt that ArcGIS explorer is not a replacement for ArcMAp but still for general users who just refer the map with small annotation its very rich what they need in day to day work. But because of the symbology and really small small things like turn on/off label, not easy to zoom in /out(by window), its richness is not realised by users. Symbology is too complicated and does not give professional map look. Something ESRI should consider. I am hoing that if you open a poll these sort of things will get higest number of vote and then may be easier for your team to prioritise. Thanks ... View more

Hello, I have been recently assigned to a project where I have to use location intelligence technologies to analyse healthcare data considering their geolocalization. (network, providers, pathologies distribution) I have started using a trial version of MapInfo. Today I got to know something about this ARCgis alternative. It seems that the basic features and the logic on which they are based are similar. I would like to understand their differences, qualities and weaknesses in terms of functionalities, user friendliness, map and data sources. Hello, Have you got the answer of your question? if yes, would you like to share the differences. Thanks ... View more

Comparing ST_GEOMETRY with SDEBINARY is a rigged fight. LONG RAW is much faster than the LOB family of types. The format of the points BLOB in ST_GEOMETRY and SDELOB/ SDEBINARY is exactly the same, so this isn't an "unpacking" issue, just inherent performance of the underlying RDBMS BLOB type. Given that ST_GEOMETRY often out-performs SDELOB (due to elimination of a table and the potential for inline storage), and given the instability of LONG RAW at 10gR2 (it's deprecated, so sites with difficulty have no recourse) and lack of availability at 11g, an ST_GEOMETRY default type makes good sense. I had similar optimizer issues with SDO_GEOMETRY types, and found that a view against the table with an indexing hint in the view addressed full table scan issues. I've never reproduced the optimizer issue with ST_GEOMETRY, so I don't know if the same workaround is applicable. - V Hi Vince, Do we have comparision or recommendation of using storage type between sdebinary, ST_Geometry and SDO_Geometry? I have to create a SDE GDB with geometric network having millions of features. Which storage type will be good from performance point of view? Will SDO_Geometry be better than ST_Geometry? Any article or any help you can offer will be of great help. Thanks MAnoj ... View more

Hi Manoj, When performing edits in a versioned ArcSDE geodatabase, conflict detection and resolution occur when you are performing a reconcile operation. Reconcile and post operations in an ArcSDE geodatabase are version management workflows and not part of web editing workflows. Therefore, we don't support conflict management in web editing - and this is by design. FYI, A quick tour of reconciling a version Typically you would perform your edits via a web client, then later on, you could manage your versions on the server-side. For example, take the version that was being edited with the web client, and reconcile and post it to another version in its lineage. When you perform the reconcile is when you would detect possible conflicts. Hope this helps, Thanks Derek. I got the answer in relation to web editing. ... View more
