Hi,

I'm new on FME and I've to copy data from a VDB to oracle. I'm working with FME 2013 SP4, I think I've to initiate a new reader with the JDBC driver but I don't know how.

Is it possible to have some help/information about that ?

Thanks by advance,

Slop

For those of us that don't know, what is a "VDB connection"? I can't find anything by that name in the FME reader/writer gallery.


VDB for virtual database, in my case Teiid. I havn't find anything about that in the gallery.


I don't know that format at all, but hopefully section 1.1 Driver Connection on this page can help you with the connection string and java driver class name for the JDBC reader/writer.


Thx for the answer, but the question now is, how to use that on FME ? Wich format can I use on my reader ?


Try the JDBC reader, my guess would be something like this:

Obviously the parameters above are made up, I haven't got an instance of Teiid to test against.


I havn't JDBC format on my gallery 😞 that's the problem


Ah, I didn't notice that you were on FME 2013. You'll have to upgrade as the JDBC support was introduced with FME 2015.0

You can download the latest version of FME here:

Or older versions here:

If you need to preserve your old version you can simply install a newer version of FME in a separate directory, they will coexist nicely.


Humm I'll see if we can upgrade our FME version but I don't think so. I
mean we could but we'll have to upgrade our server etc...

I'm trying to initiate a reader with the Postgre format and it almost worked :

But, I've an error on the "Constraints" section, any information about that ?

Here is the error :

 

Thanks by advance


Make sure that the "powerbi" user has sufficient rights, in particular SELECT rights on the "pg_tables" object.


Hi,

Yes the user has sufficient rights. We'll upgrade our version to 2015.

Thanks for your help :)
