Hi. I'm a new to FME and so far I am excited and overwhelmed. I am trying to connect to an exteral SQL database (CAD 911), run query, geocode query results, and write to an existing esri point featureclass. I'd like this to be a scheduled job where it updates the featureclass with new sql database records daily. This seems like FME 101...

Welcome to the FME Community @xander! It's wonderful to hear that you're ready to dive into FME. I found some excellent resources for you on the FME Knowledge Base that should be helpful:
- Getting Started with Microsoft SQL Server: "connect to an exteral SQL database"
Let the Database Do the Work: Reading: "run query"
Converting to Geodatabase Format: "write to an existing esri point featureclass"
Schedule a Workspace to Run with FME Server Automations: "scheduled job"
If you haven't had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with some FME basics, I would suggest going through our Getting Started with FME Desktop tutorial series. When you have more time, check out our free online training courses: FME Training. I hope this helps!
Seconding what Nampreet has suggested. You'll specifically want to look at the SQL Server Reader, the Geocoder Transformer and the Esri GDB writer.
Is there a particular spot that you are stuck? The community is a great place to find help and I am confident you'll get there.
