SDE30 Table prefix

Hi,

 

 

are you trying to read the SDE metatables? If so, just use the appropriate non-spatial database reader, e.g. the "Oracle Non-spatial" (ORACLE8I_DB) reader.

 

 

The SDE30 and GEODATABASE_SDE readers will only show you the tables that have been registered with SDE, i.e. feature classes.

In fact, i have tried some tests like : creating a table named toto with arcgis. I can read this table withe an fme reader (sde30) but when i renamed this table in sde_toto : i can't see anymore this table in the table list.

 

 

So i figured that fme filters the table with an sde_ prefix ?

I guess it is either FME or ArcSDE that filters out the tables starting with "SDE_". I don't know which :-)

 

 

Is there a particular reason for wanting to read these tables with the SDE30 reader rather than a reader specific to the backend database?
