Any hints are welcome!

Thank you!

For FME 2018 and newer, you can use the FeatureJoiner instead of the FeatureMerger.

The FeatureJoiner is faster and more intuitive to use.

 

If both tables are in a database, I would use the SQLCreator and have the database execute the join.

The SQL would look something like:

Select survey.*, lookup.meaning

from survey, lookup

where survey.code = lookup.code;

 

Hope this helps.
