How does ArcIMS work with constrained layers in an ArcSDE for Coverages database?
With an ArcSDE for Coverages constrained layer, you supply a where clause to restrict the records available in that layer, for example, if you have a World layer and supply “Curr_type lk *Dollar*”, you will have a resulting layer of all countries that use Dollar for their currency. The Find tool (in the ArcIMS Viewers and ArcExplorer) will not recognize the constrained layer and instead return results from the entire layer.
