To All ArcGIS Desktop Users and Developers:
I have some pdf files stored in a BLOB field of a database table in a SQL Server database. The records in this table can be linked to a geospatial parcel feature class stored in an Oracle SDE database. Can I create attachments for the parcel feature class tied directly to the SQL Server database to reduce data redundancy? In other words can I create a match table that ties the Oracle SDE feature class to the SQL Server table without the need to import that SQL Server data into the SDE database?
If I can do this, can I automate the process where I can add new attachment records in the match table on a weekly basis (I would like to just add new records and not have to truncate and append the entire match table each week)?
