Hey guys,
I'm still quite new to FME. I've been experimenting with using the DatabaseJoiner and SQLExecutor for my use case to join features already in the workspace to a database table. I have around 2+ million features in a workspace, so it takes quite awhile, and need to join them to an external database with a 1:many relationship (features:database records). Initially I thought that it would be much slower to use a DatabaseJoiner in this case, as it must send many smaller requests to the database, but now I'm not so sure. So I tried using an SQLExecutor to read in all the records and join them to the features with a FeatureMerger. The SQL query is set up so that it is only reading in the records that match one of the keys on the feature already in the workspace. However this has its' own issues I've found where the workspace fails about 2 days in translation, although I'm not sure if the error message is related to the SQLExecutor itself and could be solved by using a DatabaseJoiner instead :
Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Query failed, possibly due to a malformed statement. Query Text `[no query]'. Provider error `(-2147467259) TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.'
I've found mixed answers online, could anyone point me in the best direction for this task?
Thank you everyone
