Re: MI-L ESRI Formats

It is correct, that the geodatabase has a lot in common with SHP files with regards to structure etc, but saying it stores the SHP file is not correct. Data are stored in standard relational databases, such as Oracle, DB2 etc. Main differences from SHP files: Coordinates are stored in integers lik

Hi Keith, I think SDC (Smart Data Compression) is something that evolved rather than designed to fit into the grand scheme of data formats. SDC was originally designed for Business Map - an ESRI product for visualising user data. Since Business Map includes street-level data for the whole US, a hi

MI-L Server conn Begin Transaction - undocumented side effect ?

Hi, I've just now began using the statement "Server conn Begin Transaction", and have uncovered a snag (bug?) in my preliminary testing. I'm using MB 6.5 with Oracle 9i, but it's most likely generic. According to the MB manual, "Begin Transaction" caches all commands until either a "Server con

RE: MI-L ESRI Formats

I thought the Geodatabase 'formats' - MS Access and various enterprise databases - simply stored the SHP format, its accompanying files, and a whole lot of 'other' stuff? There's precise info for what's in Geodatabases on their website. The SHP etc can be extracted from these databases. That redu

Just for completeness sake : I've just discovered that the side-effect seems to be due to "Server conn Commit", rather than to "Server conn Begin Transaction". And even thought the manual for "Server Commit" says "Then you must issue a new Server Begin Transaction statement following the Server Co
