PostgreSQL & ArcGIS Desktop

Post by dreeves »

I'm very unfamiliar with the server side of multiple users accessing data through ArcGIS Desktop and haven't found much help online (that I can understand). The office I work in has a few ArcGIS Desktop users and I would like to use open source software to organize our GIS data on our Linux server. We cannot afford ArcSDE, and I have heard about PostgreSQL/PostGIS/pgAdmin/zigGIS but I'm not sure how they fit into the big picture.

Basically, I'm looking for information about how I can put our GIS data onto our server (for as little cost possible) and allow multiple users access to view and edit the data.

I am very new to database administration and am looking for some guidance.
