Query layers not returning features - personal see geodatabase

ChrisBoyce — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 01:57:42 GMT

If I drag and drop the feature class, the data is properly represented. If I query the same data with a query layer, I only get a table, no features, no spatial reference under the table properties.

Could this mean sde is not installed properly on my instance of SQL server express?

Thanks for your help

Chris.

The purpose of query layers is to view native geometry tables without installation of and
registration with ArcSDE. I'm not even sure that you can change the default storage in
Express databases (Personal and Workgroup don't have the same range of functionality
as Enterprise ArcSDE), and if you didn't, then the SDEBINARY geometry storage would
not be visible to the Query Layer interface as anything but an integer. It sounds like your
install is working according to design.

Thanks for your reply, it sounds like the functionality i was expecting is enterprise class.
