Question

What JDBC connections have you used in FME?


Badge +11

I recently updated Robyn's "Using the FME JDBC Format" article, adding a few more formats and a new category for the JDBC formats that FME now supports more completely, including documentation.

It got me thinking... what have others attempted to do with the JDBC Reader/Writer?

If you have any experiences - I'd be curious to hear about them and I could update the article.

But I have used JDBC connections in the FME Server environment (connecting to SQL Server):

DB_DRIVER=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
