    1212Second issue - really confusing so pay careful attention:
     13
    1314There is PostGIS and there is [http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002p0000006s000000.htm ESRI ST_Geometry] which is ESRI's specific flavor of OGC geometry they install in PostgreSQL and make the default. These are not the same thing.  Of course we would prefer you to use PostGIS, and PostGIS gives you more options with working with other software (particularly Open Source). The ST_Geometry and related functions are stored in the sde schema. they call their data type st_geometry and PostGIS type is just called geometry.
