ArcSDE
ArcSDE (Spatial Database Engine) is a server-software sub-system (produced and marketed by Esri) that aims to enable the usage of Relational Database Management Systems for spatial data. The spatial data may then be used as part of a geodatabase.
History
Geographic Technologies Incorporated (GTI) in Australia originally designed the database software, named Spatial DataBase Engine (SDBE). Development shifted to Salamanca Software Pvt Ltd., which developed the first production version. SDBE originally used the InterBase DBMS. The president of Esri, Jack Dangermond, announced SDE at the GIS'95 conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Esri purchased Salamanca Software in 1996. Esri rebranded the software as "ArcSDE" to follow the naming convention of other products.
ArcSDE grew to meet the need of users of geographic data for robust multi-user editing, storage and access of extremely large geospatial databases. ArcSDE supports the Esri geodatabase implementation.
The product began as stand-alone software: Esri integrated it into ArcGIS version 9.2.

Are You A Ghost
by: B-witchedIts two in the mornin
I'll tell you why I'm awake.
There it goes, that creepy feeling again,
Round in my head.
Ohhh again, here in my head.
Here in the darkness
There's so many shapes.
Shadows burn like faded flames,
And die into the night.
Ohhhh and fly up so high.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign... and I'll know.
Cool wind is blowin.
Fingers through hair.
Standing in an empty room,
Alone it feels like you're there.
Oh, alone I know that you're there.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign.
I'll tell you what I know,
I'll tell you how I feel.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign... and I'll know.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Whould you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
