    33The biggest problem with using PostGIS in ArcSDE is that you are forced to use older versions of PostGIS and PostgreSQL.
    4  * If you are running ArcGIS 10.0 then only PostGIS 1.4 and PostgreSQL 8.3/8.4 are supported. Details: [http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcsde/10.0/postgresql-system-requirements ArcSDE 10 PostgreSQL/PostGIS system requirements]

     12Second issue:
     13There is PostGIS and there is ESRI ST_Geometry which is ESRI's specific flavor of OGC geometry they install in PostgreSQL.

The ST_Geometry and related functions are stored in the sde schema.
