[postgis-users] Transferring ArcSDE tables to PostGIS using FME

[Brian Timoney]

I'm looking for information from those who have had experience routinely 
copying ArcSDE tables to PostGIS using FME.  Specifically I have a 
client mulling the feasibility of batch scheduling a transfer of tables 
on a nightly basis.  While I've been told that's a fairly 
straightforward process, some of the tables are large-ish (e.g. a point 
file with 2 million records) and I don't have any idea whether the 
transfer time would be in the minutes, tens of minutes, or hours.  Of 
course I understand much of it depends on hardware specs, but having a 
general sense of what orders of magnitude we're talking would be helpful.


Thanks,

Brian
