Easier and Faster than Shapefiles 41

42 File-based Geodatabases Provides replacement for Access based GDBs Better then shapefiles / Access (pgdb( pgdb) Supports all features of geodatabase (raster, vector, terrain, annotation, etc.) Query/draw faster Scales to larger data Smaller (30% - 75% smaller) Supports additional vector data compression (4:1 +) Cross platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris) Check out/in to full Geodatabase Single user (no replication, no versioning, no history) Open API for interoperability will be provided (future) Access (mdb) based Geodatabases still supported, but not encouraged Scales to support 1+ TB of data storage Can be compressed for Read-only access 42

43 Non-Versioned Data Access/Editing Provide direct editing without requiring versioning. Key Features Allow geographic data to be integrated into enterprise systems Take advantage of unique constraints, declarative referential integrity, triggers, etc. Support simple geographic editing workflows (last in wins / no versions) Integrate non-versioned tables with versioned feature classes Use standard DBMS short transaction model Advanced data models require versioning for topology, geometric networks, disconnected editing, replication, archiving 43

44 SQL Data Access ESRI Spatial Type for Oracle Provide standard SQL API to geodatabase on Oracle Standard SQL/MM access for simple features Fully ISO/OGC conformant spatial type for Oracle Does not require Oracle Spatial / Locator Out-performs Oracle Spatial Type Superior query performance Compressed data (SQL Data access already in DB2 and Informix, SQL Server coming after 9.2) 44

45 Distributed Geodatabase Support Using Replication Services Change Only Updates Periodically Synchronized Updates Over the Web or Courier National Read / Write One Way Two Way Read / Write Parent Replica State Read Only Synchronization Local Child Replica 45

46 Geodatabase Archiving Goal: Allow storage and query of archived database states Solution Changes stored in Archive Tables Easy to enable on any feature class Archive Tables have From and To dates All changes made to Default Version are archived Archive can be queried using Date New query tool to query archive for features based on date ranges Works on Fully Versioned Data Only Time is Transaction Time Edit Post Post Default Version Archive View 46

47 Reconcile Enhancements At 9.2 one can choose how conflicts are defined when reconciling versions By object: If two users edit any part of the same feature then the feature is in conflict By attribute: A feature is in conflict only if two users edit the same attribute You can ask for conflicts to be automatically resolved in favor of either the edit version or the target version 47

48 Conflict Resolution Improvements Addition of Common Ancester and Current columns (removal of Pre Edit column) Highlight/Unlight option for visited conflicts Update at column level within dialog More... 48

49 Geodatabase / ArcSDE General Enhancements Unicode support Support OS / Integrated Authentication on Windows Support Multiple Oracle Instances Ability to add a weight to an existing geometric network Works on all Geodatabases Versioned or un-versioned ArcSDE Applies to every version in an ArcSDE Geodatabase Must be based on pre-existing existing fields 49
