No. SQL Server Express is a free software anyway and can be downloaded from the Microsoft website for free. ESRI provides the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition along with SDE Personal and SDE Workgroup setups. SDE Personal comes along with ArcGIS Desktop, SDE Workgroup doesn't. SQL Server Standard or SQl Server Enterprise is not provided along with any of the ESRI applications. You need to buy it and get the required setups from Microsoft, just like Oracle. ... View more

Which version of ArcGIS Desktop are you using? What is the version of the sde geodatabase? Attachments were not supported in 9.3 geodatabases, so you need a 10.x geodatabase. The 'Create attachment' option in a feature class is not available for any pre ArcSDE 10 geodatabase. ... View more

Basically you don't need SQL Server Express or rather any DBMS for installing ArcGIS Server. They are completely separate installations, with no links as such w.r.t installation. Yes, the SQL Server Express instance can be used to create an sde enterprise geodatabase, as required. Here are some links for reference. these are for 10.1. You can search for similar links for 10.2.x as well. • A quick tour of setting up a geodatabase in SQL Server: ArcGIS Help 10.1 • Creating a database and geodatabase in SQL Server: ArcGIS Help 10.1 • Enabling geodatabase functionality in an existing SQL Server database: ArcGIS Help 10.1 • Setting up a connection to SQL Server: ArcGIS Help 10.1 • Database connections in ArcGIS for Desktop: ArcGIS Help 10.1 ...

You can try the below to get the GDBT working for Desktop 10.1 or later release: ---------------------------------------------- The solution for this is mentioned in brief on the following page to download GDBT 10.0: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geodatabase/details?entryID=C05E5891-1422-2418-7F0B-4EDDADA28872 The 10.0 install wants to read a registry key for some install information.  If it finds it, the install will proceed. I verified that for myself.  I installed ArcGIS 10.0 and exported the needed key.  I installed 10.1 sp1 onto a computer that never had ArcGIS Desktop and imported the key. GDBT 10.0 installs without any problem.  This would likely work with 10.2.x as well. The exact contents of the exported key I used is shown below between the ***** lines.  If the install directory of your ArcGIS install is as shown below then simply paste into a text editor, save it as a *.reg file and import the .reg file using regedit  OR change "InstallDir" as needed then do those steps. *********************************** Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Desktop10.0] "InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.1\\" *********************************** I had created a small clip of the workflow for reference.

I don't believe that ArcGIS has this functionality to rotate the image in the feature class's attachment. The attached images are stored inside the geodatabse in Blob format. The current workflow is to first export them into a folder. Then rotate them with a third party software, and add them back to the attachment. There is an enhancement request for this though: [#NIM095638 Provide a function in Attachment Manager to rotate the image in the feature class' attachment ] Note: Use valid tags in the future to attract a wider audience to help you in getting answers to your questions. ...

What is the version of ArcGIS Desktop and ArcSDE gdb that you are using? What is the complete version of the Oracle database? It is indeed possible to check which users are causing locks on the data and disconnect those users OR remove the locks, however in case they are in an edit session, the edits will be lost. So its always better to inform your users previously. In case you are using ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 or later release, these administrative tasks (list connections, disconnect connections, remove locks, etc) can be performed using Desktop itself.

Is she the only one facing the issue? If yes, is the slow performance only while snapping? or while performing other operations as well?
