Creating data files for the Production Mapping workspace in SQL Server

Available with Production Mapping license.

Standard GIS storage recommendations favor keeping index and log files separate from vector and tabular business tables. For performance reasons, it is better to position the business, feature, and spatial index tables separately and position FileGroup data files based on their usage patterns. For a multiversioned, highly active editing geodatabase, database files of the VERSIONS FileGroup may be separated and dispersed across available disks to avoid input/output contention.

The following table has the recommended FileGroups to be created for storing the Production Mapping features and table.
