[postgis-users] PostGIS supported by which ArcGIS

[Randal Hale]

as far as I understand it (and I could be wrong on some of this)

  * Desktop will support reading if you load the postgresql library
    files (that can be downloaded form your ESRI customer care portal).
  * Once those are loaded you can read through a definition query data
    from postgis into arcgis. I just made a map using arcgis and reading
    data from postgis.
  * It doesn't support write unless you have SDE for Postgresql - which
    isn't postgis. That dives into the world of ArcGIS Server....


ArcGIS supposedly is moving to being able to read/write the geopackage 
format which to me opens read/write to PostGIS. BUT if they open read 
write for postgis that starts a slow death of SDE....so I don't believe 
it ever will (for the foreseeable future).
