Introduction to configuring the product library in SQL Server (Production Mapping)

This guide book is intended for database administrators as recommendations for establishing the workspace in an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server. The enterprise geodatabase uses ArcSDE technology as the gateway between geographic information system (GIS) clients and SQL Server.

Before starting this guide book, install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows operating system. The default settings for the SQL Server database management system work well with ArcSDE. Configure the instance to accept remote connections.

When you install SQL Server, be sure to install Full-Text Search.
