Curved Segments
 
 
 

If ArcSDE encounters curved segments, it will automatically tessellate them. This means that if you create a geometry containing an arc segment in an ArcSDE table using ArcObjects API and then you try to read that geometry back using the ArcSDE API, you will get a series of line segments that approximate the original arc segment. That is, you get an approximation of the original geometry.
