ArcSDE provides the user with methods to retrieve, store, and update data in
DBMS tables. It also provides the user with C and Java API to inspect the
definition of DBMS tables, manage the creation and
deletion of DBMS tables, and manage the creation and deletion of indices on
DBMS tables.
The
ArcSDE Table Registry provides a centralized repository for information about
all tables created or managed by the ArcSDE software. The registry provides
fast access to table properties such as the owner and whether or not the table is
versioned, has a spatial column, or a row_id.
