Create an Enterprise Geodatabase in an Azure Database for PostgreSQL (Flexible Server) using Azure Portal and pgAdmin.

An ArcGIS Enterprise Geodatabase is a collection of geographic datasets of various types stored in a multi-user relational database such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.

Several vendors, such as Microsoft and Amazon, offer cloud-based database services that are supported by ArcGIS, and you can create enterprise geodatabases in these database service offerings as well.

FAQ: How to Update an expired Enterprise Geodatabase License

Enterprise geodatabases are licensed through an ArcGIS Server authorization file. With an ArcGIS Enterprise (or ArcGIS Server basic) license, you can create or enable an enterprise geodatabases in ArcGIS Pro.

If your organization licenses ArcGIS Server for a set time period using a term license, the license is subject to expiration and must be updated manually on the machine hosting ArcGIS Server as well as the related enterprise geodatabase.

FAQ: Can a feature service reference data from multiple data sources?

Data published as a feature layer must reference a single source geodatabase or database. You cannot publish data from more than one database connection in a single map.

In ArcGIS Pro, if you were to publish the data in a map as a map image and feature layer and there are multiple data sources referenced in the map you will get an error: ‘00062: Map contains data that does not use the same connection to an enterprise geodatabase’.

FAQ: How do you determine the version of an enterprise geodatabase in ArcGIS Pro?

To determine the enterprise geodatabase version you are using:

• Right-click the database connection in the Catalog pane and click Properties.

Check and repair the geometry for features in an Enterprise geodatabase.

ArcGIS applications are built with the assumption that the feature’s geometry follows certain specifications. When the processing algorithms encounter data that does not follow the specifications, the software can perform poorly, generate errors, crash, or the operation may succeed without an apparent problem but generate incorrect results.

Repair Geometry Geoprocessing tool

The Repair Geometry tool inspects each feature in a feature class for problems with its geometry. Upon discovery of a problem, a fix will be applied, and a one-line description will identify the feature, as well as the geometry problem that was fixed.
