[postgis-users] ESRI 9.3 & PostGIS

[C.C. Miller]

Brent, I haven't put this configuration through its paces, but have  
been able to connect to and at least render data out of SDE+PostGIS in  
qGIS and uDIG. We intend to revisit this later this year, so I'll be  
sure to watch for other responses. Eric Randall already posted the  
geobabble articles, which if I remember right are all pretty  
encouraging as well.
