[postgis-users] ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension

[Craig Miller]

I *think* FME has a SFCOM OLEDB component which would make it as rich as a
geodatabase / shapefile, but still lacking the long transaction support of
SDE.

Myk,

But this is through FME, right?  While I think this is a great step
forward, I don't think it will provide the same degree of interactive
operation against a PostGIS database that you get operating against
SDE, or even shapefiles or a geodatabase.

Best regards,
