+22I need to create a schema in geodatabase format and would love to use FME for this. To avoid writing null or junk features to the tables it would be good to be able to write out a schema without features. I know this defeats the very name of FME if there is no feature, but it would be useful.
On this occasion I'll play with the idea of writing out one feature per table then truncating them all, to achieve the same outcome.
bump - I'd like this as well. It would also help to be able to overwrite existing tables/feature services that previously had records, but may no longer. Without this ability, you have to read the existing table the attach delete keyword or use a creator to initiate the writer, to truncate with a blank record (which still needs to be read afterwards again to delete itself.
+22At present I think either truncating after creation or a shutdown python script to delete the feature is the way to go. A 'schema-only' setting on each writer/feature type would be ideal. currently
