Hi @George_Thompson , I am aware, that many users can use the same SDE file. My main question is, whether we are facing some performance issues in using a SDE file that resides on a network share.
If the SDE file is only read once and then every pan and zoom (and therefore every request to the DB) is handled by the client itself this will not be a big deal. If the client always uses/reads the SDE file for every query towards the DB, than the additional communication to the network share will add some little latency and the overall performance of a layer in arcmap might be affected.
So: will we gain some performance in placing a SDE file on the C-drive or no...
