Thanks Gabriel,

It looks like the table has an SDE managed row id, but from the dump I got
from the user it looks like it may be based on a view, would this have an
effect?

I've run across cases where there were no primary keys (either because there
wasn't one, or because i was a view) and null fids were used, but this is
case appears to be using a valid fids since i can find features later using
the fids provided by gt.

In this case the primary key is the PFI column, not OBJECTID, not sure if
that would make a difference.

We have noticed that feature collections with filters are quicker compared
to feature readers with queries with other operations, could it be that one
is retrieving the geometry and the other isn't?

Cheers,
Shaun



Make sure your ArcSDE featureclass has either an SDE or USER managed ROW_ID.
That's gonna be used as the primary key (a.k.a. feature identifier). When a
featureclass has no column of type row id, the geometry id is used as
feature id, and the feature class can't be editable.

Hope that helps.
Gabriel
