Hi Bruce
I've done fairly extensive research as this is a very common situation.
The landscape is quite fluid though.
There are a few third party extensions out there but I haven't had much
luck with them in a read-write production environment.
Native read support of PostGIS from ArcGIS
Hi Gavin and Bruce,
To add to what Gavin said, we recently did a piece of work assessing how to
use PostGIS as a back end for ArcGIS and as well as the fairly major
constraint around writing to the database we also found issues with
case-sensitivity- all database objects (tables, schemas etc)
Many thanks Gavin.
We have the required licenses, so that will be OK.
From memory, ESRI's support is a few versions of Postgres and PostGIS behind
the current releases.
Have you had any luck with using versions of Postgres and PostGIS higher than
ESRI claim to support.
We're running ArcGIS

I've migrated a forestry client to postgis out of shapefiles and file
based geodatabases. I'm running:

* ArcGIS 10.2.2 in a win7 VM
* Downloaded the Postgres libraries from ESRI. The claims are that
Dear Bruce,
Not sure if this is interesting or not. In my previous role, my team I
worked on adding ArcGIS support for Ingres, which is also open source
and similar to Postgres/PostGIS. I learned quite a bit during the
process. I appreciated that Esri offers a very useful layer to plugin
Hi Andrew,
I admired the work that your former team was doing. It was a pity that
sufficient time and resourcing was not allocated to see this potential work
through to fruition.
People often under-estimate how much effort is required to sponsor an open
source project, and allow sufficient
Hello Bruce,
I have not worked on this since January of last year, but I have an ArcGIS
Extension I wrote that enables ArcMap to read/write to any GDAL datasource.
I think if you recompile it for 10.2 it should work - even if you only have
the ArcGIS Basic license.
