I am using the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer and unlike the Oracle writer, there is no Writer Mode dropdown so I can select DELETE. How do I delete records from a geodatabase?

Thanks

Hi,

You have to use db_operation as delete and you have to select the writer option in fme options as delete instead of insert

@pratap is on the right track, but the attribute is called fme_db_operation and you can read more about it here: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/830/incremental-database-updates-using-the-fme-format.html

On the ArcSDE Writer, the mode is set on the writer itself, and not on the individual feature types, you can set it in the Navigator pane:
