Field Calculator and Base Tables

[LauraCarr]

Hi All,
Does anyone know when using the Field Calculator in ArcMap, does that make the modifications to the A & D tables in ArcSDE or to the Base tables?

I ask because we used the Field Calculator, hit Save Edits and then the Conflicts window appeared.  Generally you only get this after you have performed a reconcile - which had NOT been done.

We are using ArcMap version 9.3.1 and ArcSDE 9.3.1 in SQL Server 2008.

Thanks,
Laura

Edits to a versioned table, even one set to "move edits to base", go through the A/D tables.

I once had a customer who was tweaking network weighting values on a large (200k rows)
table and was complaining about poor performance -- If turns out they had 30 million rows
in both the An and Dn tables.  I recommended they put modeling constants in a joined table,
one edited with an ODBC connection.
