 Design of a Geodatabase for Efficient Retrieval of Geographic Information Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Sahadeb De, Manidipa Dasgupta Spatial data represent a new dimension in the field of information retrieval. Various access levels also need to be defined for sensitive data. In this paper we deal with the design and development issues of a statewide spatial database within an enterprise level GIS environment. The topic compels the need to explore applications and supported data formats available on the server and client platforms, and additional, or multiple retrieval formats to be made available on the server machine. In this study we have used SQL Server and ArcSDE in the back end for data storage, indexing and data access, and ArcGIS suite of applications at the front end for data query and retrieval. A customized user interface has also been developed with ArcObjects for enhancing the process of efficient geographic information retrieval and display.
