I am using SQL SERVER 2008R2 and ArcGIS 10.1. I made a multiple polygons union in to one polygon using STUnion() function. The 'UNION' process seems to work OK, and I can preview the spatial data on SQL Server Management Studio although the unioned polygon are not clean inside very much. However, I can not preview the features and the data in ArcCatalog, ArcMap, and open the properties. when I try and add the data to an ArcGIS project I get the following error:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Open Failed</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Error opening feature class</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Invalid entity type.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Invalid entity type.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have checked that all my fields allow null values. Everything seems fine. Any thoughts?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>YL</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 Oct 2013 17:43:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/view-database-through-arcgis/m-p/678586#M38454 YangLiu2 2013-10-28T17:43:22Z Re: View database through ArcGIS https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/view-database-through-arcgis/m-p/678587#M38455 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>In the future, please only post each issue once -- I'll respond in the </SPAN><A href="http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/95668-Geometry-STUnion-using-SQL-Server-2008r2-and-view-the-geometry-data-in-ArcMap">other post</A><SPAN>.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:51:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/view-database-through-arcgis/m-p/678587#M38455 VinceAngelo 2013-10-28T18:51:07Z
