users

• createuser sde
• createuser phurvitz

PostGIS stuff

copy /usr/local/lib/libgeos-3.1.0.so to /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libgeos-3.1.0.so

Installing PostGIS basics to the template database

Assures that new databases will be populated with PostGIS functionality

• createlang plpgsql template1
• psql -d template1 -f /usr/local/src/postgis-1.3.5/lwpostgis.sql
• psql -d template1 -f /usr/local/src/postgis-1.3.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql

ArcSDE schema

While logged in as postgres

psql
CREATE SCHEMA sde AUTHORIZATION sde;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA sde to sde;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA sde TO public;

Created a new database:

create database msb owner phurvitz;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON TABLE public.geometry_columns TO sde;

ArcSDE stuff

Authorization key

Get an authorization key from Luke, save as /usr/local/sde/ArcGIS_Server_v93.ecp

sdesetup for a database

• as sde user:

  sdesetup -o install -d POSTGRESQL -D msb

  sdesetup -o update_key -d POSTGRESQL -l /usr/local/sde/ArcGIS_Server_v93.ecp -D msb

NOTE: do not perform the sdesetup routine on the template1 database!

Start the sde service

sdemon -o start -i esri_sde
