I Want to Add Database Server in ArcCatalog. My Database is Sql Server 2014 enterprise;When I try, It returns that "Connections to this edition of the database Server are not Supported". I Searched and found that i should install proper version of Arcsde. But I couldnt find ArcSde for Sql Server 2014 enterprise. How can solve this problem? (ArcGis 10.2.2 ; Sql Server 2014 enterprise; Sql Client is installed;)

SQL Server 2014 is supported with ArcGIS 10.2.2, but with some caveats:
You cannot use Native Client 11. You need to install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on your client machine;
Your SQL Server instance must be 64 bit.

When you use the term "Database Server", are you referring to a workgroup geodatabase? These are installed within SQL Server Express databases. I don't think you want to do that:

You're probably clicking the wrong folder in ArcCatalog. Instead of right-clicking "Add Database Server", right-click "Add Database Connection" to connect to an enterprise workspace.
