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:
- 文件地理数据库 - 在文件系统中以文件夹形式存储。每个数据集都以文件形式保存，该文件大小最多可扩展至 1 TB。建议使用文件地理数据库而不是个人地理数据库。
- 个人地理数据库 - 所有的数据集都存储于 Microsoft Access 数据文件内，该数据文件的大小最大为 2 GB。
- ArcSDE 地理数据库 - 也称作多用户地理数据库。这种类型的数据库使用 Oracle、Microsoft SQL Server、IBM DB2、IBM Informix 或 PostgreSQL 存储于关系数据库中。这些地理数据库需要使用 ArcSDE，并且在大小和用户数量方面没有限制。

Geodatabases and the enterprise production environment
If you are going to implement ArcGIS for Maritime:Charting 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 海事制表 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.
