I finally managed what I wanted, and that is to be able to edit geometries
stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS (non versioned) with both ArcMap and QGIS
following this steps :
- With pgAdmin create a new database using template_postgis_20 (let's
name it database)
- From ArcCatalog - System Toolboxes - Data Management Tools - Geodatabase
Administration - Create Enterprise Geodatabase esrifi your previously
created database (In the Database field write the name of the database
previously created with pgAdmin)
-From ArcCatalog - Add Database Connection - connect to your esrified
geodatabase using sde superuser credentials (previously created). A new
connection will be created.
-Right click on the newly created connection - Administration - Add user
(adrian)
-Disconnect as sde and  connect back to the database with the new user's
credentials. Here is a trick. ArcMap have a latency in disconnecting the
previous connection. So, delete the previous sde connection and restart
ArcMap or do whatever you now to be sure that you are connecting as the
newly created user.
-Connected as newly created user - Right click on connection - Import -
Feature classes and don't forget here at the bottom of the dialogue box
Geodatabase Settings (optional) to choose PG_GEOMETRY
-Go back in pgAdmin and in the user's schema (not SDE schema) :
1. Define a primary key on objectid column :
ALTER TABLE adrian.database
  ADD CONSTRAINT objectid_pkey PRIMARY KEY(objectid);
2.Create a sequence :
CREATE SEQUENCE adrian.databse_objectid_sequence
  INCREMENT 1

  MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807

Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS supported by which ArcGIS

2015-01-15 Thread Paragon Corporation
It sounds like you loaded data with ESRI ST_Geometry format.  I don't think
QGIS has direct support for ESRI ST_Geometry, but I think uDig does.
 
Those instructions you point to sound like for configuring ESRI's
ST_Geometry data type.  PostGIS datatype is just called geometry and a
completely different ball of wax.
 
You should probably use these instructions:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//002p006v0
0
 
 
The two sets of types while sounding the same and even having some
overlapping functions do not talk to each other and are incompatible with
each other.
 
I think the benefit of ESRI type is it's easier to use ESRI's versioning
plumbing, but you are limited with what tools you can use with it since I
think most commercial and open source tools understand PostGIS, but fewer
understand the ESRI ST_Geometry type.
 
This is from a person who only uses ArcGIS passingly when forced to, so take
my historical bent as a bit bent :)
 
 
Hope that helps,
Regina

Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS supported by which ArcGIS

2015-01-15 Thread David Fawcett
Adrian,

I think that Regina is correct and that the layer that you loaded is using
the ESRI st_geometry.  I am using PostGIS with ESRI products (10.2) and I
am able to create a feature class in the 'esrified' postgres table with
ESRI tools and then manipulate it using PostGIS and QGIS (2.4, I don't have
2.6 on this machine.)

To load data, I generally use the ESRI Tool ConversionTo
GeodatabaseFeature Class to Feature Class, setting PG_Geometry in the
Geodatabase settings control.

So far, this setup is working quite well and giving us pretty much 'the
best of both worlds'.  The geometry column does get named 'shape' by ESRI,
but that isn't an issue on the PostGIS side.

David.

2014-10-09 Thread Birgit Laggner

Hi David,

I have no experiences with ArcSDE, but I can say, that no dba had to 
esrify our database in order to enable the interoperability between 
ArcGIS and PostgreSQL/PostGIS. We have a simple PostgreSQL-DB (version 
9.1) with an PostGIS extension (version 2.1). All we had to do was 
download a bunch of files from the ArcGIS Helpdesk, copy them into the 
appropriate ArcGIS program folder of our locally installed desktop 
ArcGIS, and then everything worked. We had to define the connection to 
the PostgreSQL database in ArcGIS and then we were able to access the 
tables of our PostgreSQL database including the PostGIS geometries (not 
the raster data!) via read/write access.


If ArcGIS writes geometries into the PostgreSQL database it names the 
geometry column as shape with the datatype geometry - no pg_geometry 
or st_geometry.


Regards,

Birgit.

We are doing this for our primary production spatial database.  One

I would be very surprised if you can edit geometries in PostGIS using

(I would love it if you can prove me wrong.)  Note that the SDE 
functionality is now built into all of ESRI's products, and the SDE

2014-10-09 Thread Paolo Importuni
Hi,

last year, I had the same kind of experience that david described in a
previous post.

I esrified my pg database into an esri enterprise geodatabase, turned
db_tune parameter into PG_Geometry and was able to read and write on my
table.

I can't remember all details but editing of non-spatial tables through
Arcmap (as per customer requests) was a kind of a mess...

The worst part was, migrating the entire db from dev server to production
server. This was done exporting the xml workspace through ArcCatalog and
recreating all constraints and relationships through a separated sql
script.

I tried to backup the entire db through Postgres tools and re-import it but
ArcMap refused to connect to this newly imported db.

I can't really say that Postgres/Esri was a nice marriage

 as far as I understand it (and I could be wrong on some of this)

 Desktop will support reading if you load the postgresql library files
 (that
 can be downloaded form your ESRI customer care portal).
 Once those are loaded you can read through a definition query data from
 postgis into arcgis. I just made a map using arcgis and reading data from
 postgis.
 It doesn't support write unless you have SDE for Postgresql - which isn't
 postgis. That dives into the world of ArcGIS Server


 ArcGIS supposedly is moving to being able to read/write the geopackage
 format which to me opens read/write to PostGIS. BUT if they open read
 write
 for postgis that starts a slow death of SDEso I don't believe it ever
 will (for the foreseeable future).

Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS supported by which ArcGIS

2014-10-02 Thread Birgit Laggner
We use ArcGIS 10.2 for read/write interaction with our PostgreSQL 
database. We only have ArcGIS Desktop without SDE. There is a driver 
(database client file) from ArcGIS for PostgreSQL, you have to install. 
We are more or less content with this concept. Surely, the performance 
is not as if you would be working directly on the PostgreSQL database, 
but still, it isn't necessary to always export and import into and from 
shapefile. That's a huge plus in my opinion.


Here is a link to a documentation site of ArcGIS regarding the 
requirements for the interoperability with PostgreSQL:


http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/system-requirements/10.2/index.html#//0151007500
