Currently the Joiner transformer does not allow for all formats that the Reader does. For example, the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb API) is available in the Joiner but the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) is not.

Please note the Joiner has been renamed to DatabaseJoiner in FME 2017.0 and Newer.

Many (most) formats do not have any optimized way to read individual records based on a key, so it is arguable if it would make sense to add them all. The dreaded FeatureMerger can be used as a type of DatabaseJoiner for such situations. That said, it does seem that Geodatabase should join the party.
