History
Geographic Technologies Incorporated (GTI) in Australia originally designed the database software, named Spatial DataBase Engine (SDBE). Development shifted to Salamanca Software Pvt Ltd., which developed the first production version. SDBE originally used the
ArcSDE grew to meet the need of users of geographic data[
The product began as stand-alone software: Esri integrated it into ArcGIS version 9.2.[3][4]
In 2013 ESRI announced plans to deprecate the ArcSDE command line tools and the ArcSDE application server following the forthcoming release of ArcGIS 10.2.[5]
ArcSDE 10.1 and 10.2
As of June 2012[update] with the release of 10.1, Esri sells ArcSDE as a component of ArcGIS Server - part of the ArcGIS family of software products which integrates geographic-information query, mapping, spatial analysis, and editing within a multi-user enterprise DBMS environment.
ArcSDE alternative tools
After 2010, there are some alternative tools for connecting ArcMap with DBMS Postgres, SQL Server.. such as ST-Links PgMap and Blue Spatial Server.
Functionality
ArcSDE enables organizations to move from a traditional approach — managing separate collections of geographic data files — to an integrated environment in which one can manage spatial data as a continuous database: accessible to the entire organization simultaneously and easily publishable on the Web. It stores spatial data using the Geodatabase data model and structure.
ArcSDE as an application server facilitates storing and managing spatial data (raster, vector, and survey)[6] in a DBMS and makes the data available to many applications. ArcSDE allows one to manage spatial data in any of four commercial databases (
ArcSDE serves data for the advanced ArcGIS Desktop products (

Spatial data include both unstructured data and structured data. All types of these data are stored in RDBMS by ArcSDE Geodatab[a]se based on multi-grid. The unstructured data mainly include two types: vector data and raster data.
