Hi guys,
My source data is a PGDB (.mdb) and I have tables that I would like 
to pull data from.  This PGDB contains all our Automatic Passenger 
Counting information since March - so it's a pretty large DB and 
it's taking a huge amount of time to read the tables I need, do some 
joins using the JOINER and LISTEXPLODER - in fact my process is 
crapping out now because I don't have enough space on my desktop.

So - there's the background - here's my question.  What is the most 
effective way of joining tables and esp, 1:M tables using FME?  I 
realize that doing all the joins in workbench may not be the best, 
so I'd like to try to run SQL requests because I think then the 
query is handled outside of FME??? (Is this correct?).

Should I be using SQLEXECUTOR?  It seems to me that I need to have 
my source DB tables as SourceDatasets in FMW, to point into the 
SQLEXECUTOR.  This seems to be counter productive, because it 
appears FME needs to read the tables first, before it runs the 
SQLEXECUTOR.  Is there a better way to make all the joins?

Thanks again everyone for any comments or suggestions,
Steve
