The physical location of oracle and sqlserver database on the hard drive,It is wonderful that in case of sql server database, we are still able to store our mdf database in any location of the hard drive, all what we need is to attach this mdf file to the sql server then it will be seen when making connection through the �??database connections�?� in the ArcGIS as shown in the screenshot below:[ATTACH=CONFIG]20006[/ATTACH]My issue now is related to Oracle. How can we choose the physical location of the database to be in a particular location and still we can manage to make connection to it from the ArcGIS? Is the folder �??orcl�?� can be saved anywhere on the hard drive such that we can make connection to it from the ArcGIS?[ATTACH=CONFIG]20007[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]20008[/ATTACH]Thank you for the help,BestJamal
