They have a vector database (under 10 GB) for editing base data. There is currently a raster database (around 400 GB). Is the performance any different if their raster data was stored in a file geodatabase vs the ArcSDE database in SQL Server? With so few users and no external access (other than VPN), would storing the imagery in a file geodatabase cause any noticeable performance issues in ArcMap?&nbsp; Thanks for your responses.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Greg</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:19:52 GMT GregJohnson 2010-07-14T15:19:52Z Imagery performance file geodatabase vs ArcSDE geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/imagery-performance-file-geodatabase-vs-arcsde/m-p/331396#M18883 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>An off-site group of less than five users is running ArcSDE (ArcGIS Server 9.3) with SQL Server 2005.
