Notes:
ESRI’s Spatial Database Engine (SDE) is a database technology for managing spatial data. The software utilizes an existing RDBMS (e.g. Oracle or SQLServer) for data storage, and manages requests for information from a variety of other ESRI clients.
The project elected to utilize this software solution because each of the organizations were using some or all of the ESRI products and because of the diverse off-the-shelf client support.
