Never worked with ArcSDE: any books/manuals on ArcSDE 10?

[NickSchmidt]

I have never worked with database managers, Oracle, Microsoft Server, etc.  Are there any good resources that can help me set up a server and then run ArcSDE 10?  Thanks-

Hi Nick,

There are plenty of online resources available from Esri's Resource Centers. I would start with the following:

> What is ArcSDE? - help topic
> A quick tour of administering ArcSDE geodatabases - help topic
> Enterprise Geodatabase 101 - ArcUser article
> Essential ArcSDE geodatabase vocabulary - help topic

There are also some informative posts on the Geodatabase Dev Blog.

Hope this helps,
