This guide book is intended for database administrators as recommendations for establishing the workspace in a geodatabase in SQL Server. The enterprise geodatabase uses ArcGIS technology as the gateway between geographic information system (GIS) clients and SQL Server.
SQL Server Installation
Before starting this guide book, install SQL Server on a Windows operating system. The default settings for the SQL Server database management system work well with the enterprise geodatabase. Configure the instance to accept remote connections and, if you have not already, enable it to store geodatabases.
