Mapping and Charting Enterprise Databases

Now available the entire Docker RDBMS Enterprise Geodatabase Series, including PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, on my community.esri.com blog channel.

Running a Linux Docker container with the Enterprise Enterprise Geodatabase is an effective way to manage spatial data environments. This setup allows for enhanced functionality and optimized performance in geographic information systems (GIS) applications.

Running a Linux Docker container having an Enterprise Geodatabase in Oracle, while utilizing the ESRI ST_Geometry spatial data type library alongside Oracle SDO spatial data type, is an effective way to manage spatial data environments. This setup allows for enhanced functionality and optimized performance in geographic information systems (GIS) applications.

The limit on database object name size is the smaller of either the limit enforced by the database management system or the geodatabase limit. Limits vary from one database management system to the next. The types of characters allowed in object names vary by database management system but are also affected by how ArcGIS stores and queries the object information.

It is essential to ensure that your Cloud PostgreSQL instances and PostGIS extension are patched with the latest updates to maintain optimal performance and security.

Unlock the full potential of your spatial data with our essential guide on managing the Enterprise Geodatabase in Oracle's Container Database (CDB) and Pluggable Database (PDB) environments. Discover best practices and key recommendations to optimize performance, ensure security, and streamline workflows. Whether you're a seasoned Oracle database administrator or a newcomer, this article equips you with the insights needed to navigate Oracle's geodatabase landscape effectively.

You do not have to keep your geodatabase and ArcGIS clients at the same release, but it is recommended that you do so. 

Workflows have been identified that can cause inconsistencies in the branch versioning system tables. When such an issue is encountered, features with missing branch versioning metadata can cause data inconsistencies when the version is reconciled, posted, and/or deleted.
