[postgis-users] PostGIS supported by which ArcGIS

[Birgit Laggner]

We use ArcGIS 10.2 for read/write interaction with our PostgreSQL 
database. We only have ArcGIS Desktop without SDE. There is a driver 
(database client file) from ArcGIS for PostgreSQL, you have to install. 
We are more or less content with this concept. Surely, the performance 
is not as if you would be working directly on the PostgreSQL database, 
but still, it isn't necessary to always export and import into and from 
shapefile. That's a huge plus in my opinion.

Here is a link to a documentation site of ArcGIS regarding the 
requirements for the interoperability with PostgreSQL:

Regards,

Birgit.
