Edits seen in ArcSDE but not in SQL?

[MollyWhite]

I have edited an SDE feature class and the changes have gone through rec and post to the default.  I can see the changes in the ArcGIS environment but not in the SQL environment.  Any ideas of what might be happening?

Molly,

Are the data Registered as Versioned?

If yes, it seems that you might be just checking the Base table of that Feature Class. Disconnect all users from that Geodatabase and perform a "COMPRESS" on the geodatabase. You should be then able to see the changes in the SQL Environment too.

Alternatively, if you are using ArcGIS 10.1 and have a 10.1 geodatabase, you might consider querying the Versioned Views that form part of the geodatabase. It will allow you to see the edit state of a specific version you specify in SQL.

Thank you for the replies!

We run a compress in our rec and post script nightly and it says that it was successful.

I just queried the versioned view in SQL after setting the default to current state (EXEC sde.set_default), and the data is correct.  But the table still shows the incorrect/old data.  Does this mean that the rec and post did not complete?  Or the compress did not really complete?  Very new at this 😮

Although the compress did not give any errors, it was not getting to the state 0 because of a hung SDE connection.  We forced a compress and all is fine now.  Thank you for the help!

Have been trying to get ArcGIS 10.1 data directly into SQL server for a municipal application, but its seems not to work. What I did was connect through Ms access to SQL (using link server techolo). Does any one have an idea how I can do direct connection?
