After ArcSDE component installation and geodatabase creation
After ArcSDE component installation and geodatabase creation
Release 9.3
Note:This topic was updated for 9.3.1.
The installation summary topics for the ArcSDE component for DB2, Informix, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server linked to certain configuration and tuning topics that helped you set up your geodatabase. After the geodatabase is created, there are some other configuration changes you can make. These are covered in An overview of configuring an ArcSDE geodatabase.
Once you have completed the configuration you want to do, you need to determine what type of connections you want users and applications to make to the geodatabase. You might want some users to connect using an ArcSDE service and others to connect directly, utilizing the direct connect drivers installed with client applications. Direct connections can often be faster and handle more connections to the geodatabase than an ArcSDE service. See An overview of ArcSDE geodatabase connections to get you started on setting up connections to the geodatabase.
