Database Servers Tutorial

A quick tour of the database servers tutorial

Within ArcGIS software, the term database servers refers to instances of Microsoft SQL Server Express that

have been enabled to store geodatabases.

You create geodatabases and perform other administrative tasks for database servers through the Database

Servers node in the Catalog window or ArcCatalog. Performing the administration of the database server and

its geodatabases through ArcGIS Desktop means there is no extra software or database administration

expertise required for you to create and use these types of ArcSDE geodatabases.

To get started using database servers, this tutorial will show you how to use ArcGIS Desktop to do the

following:

• Add a database server and create new geodatabases.

• Add users to the database server and grant permissions.

• Load data into the geodatabases.

• Make edits to data in a geodatabase on a database server.

• Perform administrative tasks, such as making a backup of and upgrading a geodatabase.

Getting started

To complete the tasks in this tutorial, you must install ArcGIS Desktop, Microsoft SQL Server Express, and

the tutorial data. You must also create additional logins on your computer to complete some of the tasks.

Software installation

For this tutorial, you must install ArcGIS Desktop (ArcEditor or ArcInfo license level), SQL Server Express,

and the ArcTutor data for this tutorial on your computer. Use the ArcSDE for SQL Server Express

Installation wizard provided on the ArcGIS Desktop installation media to install an instance of SQL Server

Express and enable it to create ArcSDE geodatabases. To complete the installation, follow the

instructions in the ArcSDE for SQL Server Express installation guide, which is also included with the

ArcGIS Desktop media.

You most likely already have ArcGIS Desktop installed, but if not, follow the instructions in the ArcGIS

Desktop installation guide to complete this. If the ArcTutor data has not been installed, you need to install

it using the ArcTutor executable provided on the ArcGIS Desktop media.

As with all software installations on Windows operating systems, you must be an administrator on the

computer to install SQL Server Express, ArcGIS Desktop, and the tutorial data. If you do not have

administrative rights to the computer you are going to use for this tutorial, have your systems

administrator install the software. Be sure the system administrator adds your login to the database server

as an ArcSDE database server administrator when he or she enables the SQL Server Express instance to

store geodatabases.

The ArcSDE database server administrator is responsible for maintaining the database server, creating

and maintaining geodatabases, and adding and administering their database server user accounts. This

tutorial shows you how to perform these tasks; therefore, without database server administrator

permissions, you could not complete this tutorial.

Database Servers Tutorial

Additional logins

Database servers exclusively use Windows-authenticated logins for authentication. This tutorial requires

three Windows logins: your login and two others.

If you are an administrator on your computer, you can create local Windows logins and use those. If you are

not an administrator, have your systems administrator either add two users to your computer or provide you

with two network logins to use.

You will use these logins to learn how to do the following:

• Add other users to your database server and grant them permission to the geodatabase and the

data it holds.

• Assess what the different levels of permission allow or prevent users from doing so you can decide

what sort of permissions you should grant to other users.

• Use the database server and its contents as a nonadministrative user. Therefore, if you connect to a

colleague’s database server on which you have restricted permission, you will know how to use it.

The creation of additional logins will be explained in Exercise 4: Add users and administer their permissions .

You will use the two additional logins in Exercise 5 Make nonversioned edits as a ReadWrite user , Exercise

7: Connect as a geodatabase administrator , and Exercise 8: Make versioned edits as a ReadWrite user .

Database Servers Tutorial

Exercise 1: Add a database server to the Catalog tree

and create a geodatabase

Once you have all of the software and tutorial data installed, connect to the

database server and create a geodatabase.

Complexity:

Beginner

Data Requirement:

ArcGIS Tutorial Data Setup

Goal:

Connect to a database server in ArcGIS

Desktop and create a geodatabase.

You connect to and administer database servers from the Catalog tree.

Therefore, open ArcMap and open a Catalog window.

Starting ArcMap and opening the Catalog window

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap by clicking Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcMap 10.

2. Click Blank Map under New Maps on the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box and click OK .

3. Click the Catalog Window button on the Standard toolbar.

The Catalog window opens.

Adding a database server

One of the folders in the Catalog tree is called Database Servers. This is where you add a connection to the

database server.

Steps:

1. Expand the Database Servers node in the Catalog tree.

2. Double-click Add Database Server .

3. On the Add Database Server dialog box, provide the name of the ArcSDE database server.

This is in the form <server_name>\<instance_name>, where the server name is the name of

the server on which SQL Server Express is installed and the instance name is the name of the

SQL Server Express instance.

For example, if a database server is named SOPHIE\SQLEXPRESS, SOPHIE is the server

name and SQLEXPRESS is the instance name.

If you are unsure of the name to use, contact the administrator of the database server for this

information.

4. Click OK .

A new database server connection appears under the Database Servers node of the Catalog tree.

Creating a geodatabase

The database server administrator creates the geodatabases on the database server. Since you are the

database server administrator, you will create a geodatabase. Name the geodatabase Osokopf.
