+3When working with a File Geodatabase Writer, FME gives us an option(FME Parameter) to "Overwrite Existing Geodatabase" or not!
Can someone Please let me know if there is such a option when dealing with a SDE Geodatabase?
So how we can prevent duplicating (appending data again into existing dataset) when we want to load data into?
Thanks
+51The "over write existing gdb" deletes the entire GDB and makes a new one, something you wouldn't want to do with SDE.
The appropriate solution would be to read in your SDE data and run it through a change detector with the "new" data and see if its an insert/update/delete/no action.
Alternately (as you don't specify your FME version) you can do an Upsert which will insert new features, and update existing ones
