Set up a database connection

You must configure client applications to connect to a database (which can contain an enterprise geodatabase) or a cloud data warehouse. Configuration entails using the database management system's or cloud data warehouse's connection methods and drivers.

Tip:

ArcGIS Pro includes client files to connect to PostgreSQL; therefore, you do not have to install a database management system client to connect to PostgreSQL.
