That’s what I’m talking about. when I first tried to connect to Posters (and the “postgres” named database, I kept getting an error from ArcGIS saying the the “postgres” name for a database was a bad thing, and it wouldn’t connect. After much searching, I discover that the name, “postgres” for a database wasn’t allowed by the ArcGIS client to connect to.
As long as you don’t try connecting to the default “postgres” database, all seem to work fine. bobb On Aug 21, 2019, at 10:59 AM, Shaozhong SHI <shishaozh...@gmail.com<mailto:shishaozh...@gmail.com>> wrote: Think Before You Click: This email originated outside our organization. Hi, Bobb, I am confused with this. The idea is to use ArcGIS desktops to read data from PostGIS/PostgreSQL. How best to configure and make them happy to talk to each other?

Just to be clear, we do use logins for accessing the database, we just have chosen to use the “postgres” (named) database. So, I just went and tried to find the refence I found previously, and can’t find it (real quick). Anyway,as long as you don’t try to connect to the “postgres” database, things do seem to work ok. bobb On Aug 21, 2019, at 2:18 AM, Shaozhong SHI <shishaozh...@gmail.com<mailto:shishaozh...@gmail.com>> wrote: Think Before You Click: This email originated outside our organization. Hi, Bob, Can you point me to excellent technical documentation on what you mentioned, so that I can double-check. My colleagues have made it working, but there are some issues. For instance, not all ArcGIS desktops can access and retrieve data. Looking forward to have more insight into this matter.

This is not readily available as a limitation either when looking for reasons why it won’t connect. We’ve been using the “postgres” database name for years (a decade now??) with no ill effects from other applications/ connections. I sort of understand this from the commercial side having worked with other databases like Oracle and MSSQL, but still, there should be a way to side step this with a setting somewhere. I looked high and low for a way to alias the “postgres” database name inside of Postgres, but didn’t find anything very easy to implement or maintain very easily. I did think about setting up another dataabase and using Views to the postgres database, but that seemed like a bad idea for some reason, along with being somewhat hard to maintain, but upon reflection I keep coming back to the idea. All non “postgres” named connections seem to work fine so far. Haven’t implemented anything yet that is really heavy duty as far as loading though, so who knows. Anyway, just my 2cents. bobb On Aug 20, 2019, at 10:12 AM, Shaozhong SHI <shishaozh...@gmail.com<mailto:shishaozh...@gmail.com>> wrote: Think Before You Click: This email originated outside our organization. How to ensure that all versions of ArcGIS desktop applications can access and read from server-based PostGIS/PostgreSQL?
