I'm wondering what the difference is between the DatabaseUpdater transformer and setting the Feature Operation to Update in a database writer.
I know there is a lot of overlap is some of the transformers in FME so i'm wondering if one is better or if they'll do the same thing.
DatabaseUpdater is designed to do one thing and do it really good.
A database writer (any type of database) can do a lot of things, it is universal/generic as it comes to db operations.
The logic usually is that a dedicated solution is faster than a more generic one. So that should be the answer.
Depending on how you set them up they should do the same thing in terms of updating.

Great, thank you!
