I think you may be right Brian. I see definite references to autodesk fdo. I
had seen some of the same on the esri website but they are not so specific
as to the technology now that I look them up.
http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.1/java/arcengine/com/esri/arcgis/datasou
rcesoledb/package-summary.html
It seems they have an esrifdo2ado implementation for oledb.

I have asked esri about the connection count from an autodesk map FDO and
they said that as long as it is using the SDE client it should not count
against the sde connections now termed (direct connections). I wouldn't be
surprised if they made the realization and started charging for those. They
don't usually give anything away.

" ArcSDE FDO is ESRI software" - wow, really? I thought it was an Autodesk
wrapper around the ArcSDE client libraries. Did ESRI donate software towards
OSGEO?

Enterprise SDE would be available but the real question is whether you can
copy the dll's to other machine that will connect to that SDE database. My
guess is "yes" but I figured I ask here first.

You should probably check with ESRI, but as I understand it you can now in
9.1 use unlimited sde connections from an esri software. If you use direct
connectons then you have a limited number of sde connections. Unless I am
mistaken the ArcSDE FDO is ESRI software. If someone knows different that
would be the killing point.

thanks Robert

I know you probably cannot answer this definitively since its an ESRI
question but if you have ArcSDE installed on your server, you should be able
to use the client libraries on the same server (or any server that connects
to that ArcSDE instance), right?

The ArcSDE client libs are not redistributable.  They need to come with
proper licensing from ESRI products.

Hi Brian,
 
Yes, the source code for the ArcSDE provider is available as open source
(https://fdoarcsde.osgeo.org/).
 
It uses SDE client libraries. You have to make sure that you have these
dll's available and in your path: sde91.dll, sg91.dll, and pe91.dll. It
does not currently support raster, but it does support versioned
databases through the FDO long transaction versioning commands.
 
Thanks,
Orest.

hello all

 

 a few questions on the ArcSDE SDO for Oracle/SQLServer

 

1) Is the source code available as part of the free community download?
If
no, any pointers on where to find out about Enterprise?

2) Does it use native SQL communication or does it rely on the SDEClient
libraries provided by ESRI?

3) How's the performance when compared to other SDE access layers? How
about
ESRI tools?

4) Does it have Raster support?

5) Long shot - does it work with Versioned geodatabases? (e.g. delta
tables)

 

cheers

brian
