Why did nobody suggest this article early on

There is a white paper on using SQL to edit and work with geodatabases. It is not the white paper I was asking for but it does answer some of my earlier questions about using SQL directly to query and edit a geodb. It also covers working with versioned data. If you know there are things like this out there then just tell me how to search for it. I looked all over support and google searches but found it in the project center.

    Thanks so much for all the great info you have been providing on the GeoDB. It has been very helpfully and made me stop & think further before I create a PGDB of bird census data to use for various analysis procedures.

    Hey Matt, thanks for the kind words. I am starting to feel like I am getting a bit whiny. I am going to try to summarize some of my findings soon. Most of this won’t be news to experienced geodb’ers but maybe it will help some people avoid the stuff I have been struggling with. Try to share some of your insights back.

    This is a great resource. From my quick look, it’s an expanded version of the Multi-Version view doc that I had a (bad) link to in my post on SQL + GDB. The link is fixed now, but for anyone looking, here’s the Url
