Question: ArcGIS Server using PostgreSQL/PostGIS

[Till Adams]

Bryon,

I', not going t start the discussion WHY use this A... server .... ;-)

To your question: There is an externsion to ArcGIs 8 called "PgArc" 
(->sourceforge). But first it is a kind of "unsufficient hack", because 
it does not make ArcGIS read PostGIS directly, it uses the 
shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp extensions to generate a shape, which then is used 
by ArcGIS and written back.
Second since esri changed the object model between arcgis 8 and 9 it 
does not work with the 9-er stuff.

I don't know of any possibilities you might have with FME?

Cheers, Till
