[Qgis-user] ArcSDE

[James Wood]

Thanks Jürgen,
I guess some clarification is in order as to whether this is actually SDE (older) or what is referred to now as Enterprise. There are also levels of Enterprise as well.

Feature classes created through the ArcGIS interface can been seen in the Spatial tab of an SSMS query. I have also connected to SDE (SQL) before from QGIS, however it has been some versions past. 

Sorry for jumping the gun before asking Roberto to clarify, and appreciate your input.
