[Regina Obe]

Thanks everyone who chimed in on this.  It’s sad to hear but it is what it is.

Hello, 

The answer is "No". ArcGIS Online is not able to connect to a PostGIS enabled database directly.


ArcGIS Online is a SAS Software As a Service, and you need to store your data into the ArcGIS Online Feature Data Store.

 

Data Management in ArcGIS Online - https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/data-in-online.htm

 

FAQ ArcGIS Online - https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/faq.htm


However as mentioned ArcGIS Online allows you to Add a Service from a URL.

 

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/add-item-from-url.htm

 

This means if you have an ArcGIS Geodatabase on PostgreSQL you can store the spatial data with esri st_geometry or with postgis pg_geometry.

 

Then with ArcGIS Server you can publish a Map Service or Feature Service using the layer or layers from the PostgreSQL Geodatabase.

 

Then, you can use the Map Service / Feature Service URL with ArcGIS Online.

 

The ArcGIS Server VM and PostgreSQL Geodatabase can reside in the Cloud, e.g. Amazon or Azure.

I hope this clarifies.

 

Thanks,

It's my educated guess that the answer is no.  The AGOL client talks via web services to the backend, so it can't talk directly to a database server.

 

It *might* be able to talk to a non-AGOL web service (probably using OGC protocols)?

This may be a question to just people using ArcGIS Online or at least
familiar with it.  Is it possible to have an ArcGIS online connect to a
PostGIS enabled database (assuming you have the port open etc), without an
ArcGIS Server license?
If so are their limitations in terms of what features you can use of ArcGIS
Online like their javascript apis etc?

Thanks,
Regina
