What I find immediately puzzling about this whole SDE - PostGIS thing is
a comment that Someone Knowledgeable (Paul? Martin?) made a few weeks
ago about an incompatibility between SDE's geometry and OGC or at least
PostGIS's implementation of OGC.
Sorry I can't provide more details, but does anyone recall this, and
have a comment on the matter?

Hi all,
I've read bits and pieces about PostgreSQL/PostGIS and ArcGIS Server 9.3
and how they (might) inter-operate. Can anybody point me to a concise
summation of what's happening there? I understand ArcGIS Server will be
able to use PostGIS geometries, but at what cost (performance and
functionality)? Does this mean we can have ArcGIS and open source
clients editing the same geometries?
ArcGIS Server 9.3 beta is in the wild, and I've read that the final
release is due "soon". Anyone have any idea if soon is measured in
weeks or months?
Tim,

Hot stuff, thanks Stephen. Looks very promising. With a bit of luck it
will ease the transition to PostgreSQL/PostGIS for those wanting to go
down that route. I can think of a few who will be looking at this over
the next few years.
Regards,
Tim Bowden
