    Underlying DBMS error (-51) = An error was returned from the database that was not recognized by ArcSDE or the client application. Check the DBMS logs for more information. Commented Feb 28, 2012 at 22:14
  • "upgrade" really isn't the right term. You need to first install SDE. ArcSDE requires a repository of db tables which are created when you install ArcSDE. "upgrade" applies when you already have an SDE GDB and you want to move from one version to another. Commented Feb 29, 2012 at 6:18

  • YOu need to install SDE, then run the create schemas sql, to create the system tables, then you need to perform the post install, which populates the SDE schema system tables. It looks like you have done none of this Commented Feb 29, 2012 at 8:01
