Dana, I haven't tried this, but I think if you have OGR2OGR compiled with ArcSDE libraries then you can use that to pipe the data directly to PostGIS without an intermediary file. Unfortunately you can't get a precompiled version with ArcSDE I think because of licensing issues so you have to compile yourself.
I suspect that would require the least amount of effort if you get it going since you can list all the feature classes you want to export on one line. http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html I've just barely installed ArcGIS Desktop on my pc and haven't really even opened it up, so can't be much help there. Hope that helps, Regina -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dnrg Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 7:56 AM To: postgis postgis Subject: [postgis-users] Importing large feature class into PostGIS fromArcSDE I want to import a large feature class (several dozens of gigabytes) into PostGIS from ArcSDE. What are my options aside from exporting the feature class into reasonably sized shapefiles (whatever reasonably sized might be). If separating the feature class into many smaller shapefiles is my only option (without a significant amount of programming), is there an efficient way to do this in ArcGIS Desktop? Thanks.
