Hi Sanjay, If you are only editing the DEFAULT version, then no, you shouldn't need to do any reconcile and post operation. As Denise and Vince mentioned, these operations are only applicable when you have multiple versions in your ArcSDE geodatabase. I suggest you review this ArcUser article to learn more about the topic of versioning and the concepts of reconcile and post, Versioning 101 Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Matthew, FYI: you can have multiple editors editing within the same File geodatabase, as long as they are editing different stand-alone feature classes or feature datasets. If you need the ability to have multiple editors editing the same feature classes or feature datasets in the same geodatabase, then yes, you will need an ArcSDE geodatabase. To start, I suggest you listen to this Esri Instructional Podcast: Migrating from Single-user Geodatabases to Multiuser Geodatabases http://www.esri.com/news/podcasts/instructional-series.html (do a filter by Geodatabase) Since you have ArcEditor/ArcInfo level of ArcGIS Desktop, you will have access to Personal ArcSDE (aka., ArcSDE for SQL Server Express) which supports 3 concurrent users, one of which can be an editor.

Hi Matt, ... In the mean time, support for complex queries is limited with an access-based database? For executing queries outside of ArcGIS with respect to File geodatabases, the answer currently is yes. You can certainly perform complex queries using ArcGIS - I guess it depends on how you define "complex query". Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Matt, FYI, Types of geodatabases - ArcGIS 10 help doc ... I would really like to embrace the new geodatabase format, but my understanding is that this level of querying and data structure is not available? You're correct. This type of querying outside of ArcGIS is not available at this time. But we're working on a File Geodatabase API. Please see this thread: File Geodatabase - Documentation and tools?
