[postgis-users] PostgreSQL/PostGIS Microsoft Windows Users Qu estion

[Lowther, David W]

Darren,
 
I just downloaded pgarc the other day and was going to play with it some,
but got lost in other things. I am VERY interested in helping with this
project - either by giving you input into future developments or by actual
coding where applicable. I do a good bit of VB, but have heretofore been
intimidated by the ArcGIS object model. I think that going through your code
will help me with that.
 
Our "ideal" would be an extension to ArcMap to would allow use to view /
edit / analyze postgis data directly from the database. I am familiar with
creating temp shapefiles, and that is workable, but less than ideal. I dont
know how pgarc is currently doing all of this.
 
Do you have more specific questions? We are involved with GIS at the local,
state, and federal level. We do redistricting, custom mapping, oil and gas
data management, parcel mapping, just about all of it.
 
And - we developed a "Poor Man's SDE" based on the OGIS Simple Feature Specs
in Access / SQL Server that we pulled data from and wrote data to arcview
with avenue / vb. Thats why I am familiar with the idea of temp shapefiles.
Its just alot of management...

Subject: [postgis-users] PostgreSQL/PostGIS Microsoft Windows Users Question



Hello all. 

I am involved with an open source project called PgArc located at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgarc/
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgarc/>  . The purpose of the project is to
allow  ESRIs ArcMap (v8.x) product to access Open Source Postgresql/PostGIS
spatial data tables. To help out this effort, I would like to ask this
question;

All Microsoft Windows GIS users using PostgreSQL/PostGIS, will you e-mail me
some information about how you use PostgreSQL/PostGIS? If we can get some
information on Windows usage, it will help us steer our project in the right
direction.

Thank you for any response, 

Darren H.
