[postgis-users] PG as a data source for ESRI products

[Paul Ramsey]

Sorry Dave, doing a proper OLEDB for real read/write access from ArcMap 
to PostGIS has been and remains a very large project. As such, it has 
some unfortunate characteristics:
- It's too large for us to do for free off the side of our desks.
- It is expensive enough that anyone with enough coin to fund us to do 
it would have to seriously consider that buying ArcSDE is cheaper than 
the cost of developing the connector.

So there it sits. :/
