I have a question for you to give me a hand please.
I have got an ordinary table with an OBJECTID column (type of int) in a SQL Server 2008 R2 instance. I need to store it in an ArcSDE geodatabase running on top of the SQL Server. The thing is how to make the OBJECTID field to the esri-compliant esriFieldTypeOID type so that feature operations through Feature Server can be applied down the track.
If you have a table in a database where ArcSDE installed, and that table has a column which maps to a 4-byte integer, and that column has the NOT NULL constraint, then you can register it as USER-set registered rowid column via:
You can use ArcGIS to register the table with the geodatabase, but it's likely to create a new column called OBJECTID and make it an SDE-set rowid. ArcGIS will not maintain USER-set rowid columns during editing operations, and in order to make the table versioned, you'll need to register it as SDE-set ("-C SDE").
