To create layers in PostGIS and have them usable in Arc, e.g.:
* in psql create a table, add a geometry column, and insert some data:
<pre>
CREATE TABLE gtest ( ID int4, NAME varchar(20) );
SELECT AddGeometryColumn(’’, ’gtest’,’geom’,-1,’LINESTRING’,2);
INSERT INTO gtest (ID, NAME, GEOM)
VALUES (
1,
’First Geometry’,
GeomFromText(’LINESTRING(2 3,4 5,6 5,7 8)’, -1)
);
</pre>
* At the command prompt, register the table as a layer:
<pre>
sdelayer -o register -l gtest,geom -e l  -g AUTOMATIC -u ufladmin -p ******** -D ufl -C id
</pre>
