topic Migrate an existing SQL Server Database to be an ArcGis geodatabase in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/migrate-an-existing-sql-server-database-to-be-an/m-p/42529#M2329 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi all,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I have an Sql Server Database that contain some tables with GPS positions. When I started using arcgis the last summer, I used ArcCatalog to register the tables with Geodatabase and a new field called OBJECTID was created to be used as an id by ArcGis. The problem is that I already have primary and foreign keys and the database is also used by other applications. So I am wondering how I should work with the new OBJECTID field if I don't want to change my primary and foreign keys. And could I change OBJECTID to be auto incremented to add new data by other applications?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thank you in Advance.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Alaeddine Saadaoui.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:27:57 GMT AlaeddineSaadaoui 2011-10-23T16:27:57Z Migrate an existing SQL Server Database to be an ArcGis geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/migrate-an-existing-sql-server-database-to-be-an/m-p/42529#M2329 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi all,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I have an Sql Server Database that contain some tables with GPS positions.
