Hi All,

We are busy with data capturing and have a bunch of geotagged photos in our sql server. I am trying to view these photos in arcmap / arcgis pro. 

The process I have followed so far:

   - Restored the .bak file in sql express in order to see the tables

   - Connected the database to arcgis pro

         - it consist of two tables (1) displaying lat and long coordinates (2) photo table with the doc ID in. Both these tables             have the doc id.

I have displayed the points as per the coordinates, the tricky part is now linking the photo table to the points in order to see the pictures.

I have done a little bit of research and came across the tool "generate attachment table'. Not too sure how it works and if this is the path I should follow. Do I create a new geodatabase? Should I export the photo table? Just a bit lost and in desperate need of guidance.

I have a standard license. 

Any advice and help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you Thomas, however I do not have the physical photos, I only have the .bak file which contains the details of the photos?
