Supported databases

Note:

Database connections are supported in Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise and Insights desktop.

The following table lists the supported databases you can connect to when using Insights. Database connections allow you to add data from these databases to Insights.

Note:

Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise and Insights desktop allow you to create a connection to a supported Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA, or PostgreSQL database that has a non-versioned enterprise geodatabase defined. If the geodatabase is versioned, the data must be unregistered as versioned to work in Insights. Currently, only geodatabase user tables not created under the sde user schema can be viewed and accessed from Insights. Insights does not work directly with file and personal geodatabases.

Additional database platforms

The ArcGIS platform supports many database management systems to which Insights does not support direct access. To use tables from these databases, including geodatabase-enabled databases, they must first be made available in your ArcGIS Enterprise portal as a feature layer.

Note:

The list of database management systems with which Insights can work directly will grow over time. Contact Esri Technical Support to provide feedback on your preferred vendor.
