Geodatabases and the production environments (Maritime Charting)
Before you determine how you are going to set up your nautical production environment, you must understand the different type of geodatabase options. The geodatabase is a "container" used to hold a collection of datasets. There are three types:
- Geodatabases de archivos: almacenados como carpetas en un sistema de archivos. Cada dataset se aloja como un archivo que puede escalar hasta 1 TB de tamaño. Las geodatabases de archivos se recomiendan por sobre las geodatabases personales.
- Geodatabases personales: todos los datasets se almacenan dentro de un archivo de datos de Microsoft Access con un límite de tamaño de 2 GB.
- geodatabases de ArcSDE: se les conoce también como geodatabases multiusuario. Se almacenan en una base de datos relacional con Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, IBM Informix o PostgreSQL. Estas geodatabases requieren el uso de ArcSDE y pueden no tener límite de tamaño y en cantidad de usuarios.

Geodatabases and the enterprise production environment
If you are going to implement ArcGIS for Maritime: Cartografía in an enterprise production environment, the Nautical Information System (NIS) and product library geodatabases will need to be enterprise ArcSDE database, and you have a few options for setting up the production databases. Please refer to the table below.

Geodatabases and the desktop production environment
If you are going to implement Cartografía marítima in a desktop production environment, have a few options for setting up the product library and production databases. Please refer to the table below.

The production database storage environments
Regardless of the production environment you choose to implement, there are three different production database storage approaches that you can choose: ArcSDE geodatabase for SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcSDE geodatabase for SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS for Server Workgroup or an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server. With an ArcSDE geodatabase for SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcSDE geodatabase for SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS for Server Workgroup, you manage the production databases on your local client machine through the SQL Server Express database management application. However, your production databases are dispersed throughout your client network and are not centrally managed and updated on a server. If all the production databases need to be centrally managed on a local or remote server, then you can use an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server to store them. Each production database is stored on a server and editors are given access to the individual databases via a connection file that gets stored on the local client. The actual production databases remain on the server and the editors are just given access to their assigned production database.
