[postgis-users] PostgreSQL/PostGIS and ArcGIS Server 9.3

[Chris Hermansen]

What I find immediately puzzling about this whole SDE - PostGIS thing is 
a comment that Someone Knowledgeable (Paul?  Martin?) made a few weeks 
ago about an incompatibility between SDE's geometry and OGC or at least 
PostGIS's implementation of OGC.

Sorry I can't provide more details, but does anyone recall this, and 
have a comment on the matter?
