[SQL] PostGres Tables in ArcSDE and ArcCatalog.

2010-08-30 Thread Michael Andrew Babb
Hi All,

I am using PostGRES 8.3 in conjunction with ESRI's ArcSDE. ArcSDE allows the 
storage of spatial data inside of an PostGRES database. One of the programs 
bundled with ESRI's GIS suite is ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog is a spatial data 
manager. It is possible to browse and analyze the contents of PostGRES 
databases using ArcCatalog. In my PostGRES database, I have a table called 
SF30001. I can fully interact with the table using PSQL and pgAdmin III. 
However, I cannot interact with the table at all using ArcCatalog. Full 
interactivity needs to happen with ArcCatalog because the majority of the users 
of the PostGRES database will be using ArcCatalog to access data in the 
PostGRES database.

If I execute a make table query along the lines of "select * into SF30001_test 
from SF30001" I can interact with the table in ArcCatalog just fine.

I suspect that what I am running into is an ArcSDE configuration setting but I 
am not sure which one. I am not ready to rule out the issue as a PostGRES issue 
either. I'm currently pouring over configuration settings and how-to documents, 
but I wonder if anybody has any recommendations on how to gain full 
interactivity with the original table in ArcCatalog.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Scott,

Of all things, ArcSDE does not like tables with names consisting of mixed case 
letters. In addition, ArcSDE does not like field names consisting of mixed case 
letters.

I changed the case of the field names and table names to all lowercase and 
ArcCatalog could see the tables just fine. However, PostGRES can interact with 
tables with mixed case letters just fine.

Thanks,

Mike

what do
\z SF30001
\z SF30001_test
say about the permissions on the two tables?
