I use an ODBC connection to an ArcSDE table to return a current list of features for reporting purposes. The connection is pointed at a Microsoft SQL ArcSDE server and the connection info matches what I see in ArcCatalog.
The problem is that the ODBC connection returns a version of the table that is several months old - it shows some features that have been removed and doesn't show some new features.
Using the same connection information in ArcMap, I see a current version of the table and the current set of features.
I have created a new ODBC connection, tried refreshing the connection, and tried using the connection in Microsoft Access and R.
Any suggestions?
This question referred to a versioned table. As it turns out, an editor had checked out a parent version of the ArcSDE some time ago and never checked it back in. This was preventing subsequent child versions from being compressed back to the DEFAULT table. Child edits were being kept in a delta table but still showing in ArcMap; the ODBC connection wasn't aware of the delta table and was showing DEFAULT as it existed when the rogue parent version was checked out.
