Hi,

when I try to send sting attibute with UTF-16 encoded string, MYSQL_DB writer shows the warning:

"Skipped writing of 1 features due to unmatched non-insert writer type mode when the writer was in insert (only) mode"

Is it possible that MYSQL_DB does not convert UTF-18 string into own types?

Hi @arekpierchala, It appears that MYSQL_DB does support UTF-16. It looks like your issue might be because your "Writer Mode" is set to INSERT. Have you tried changing the writer mode? Here is the documentation on what each mode does: http://docs.safe.com/fme/2016.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/mysql_db/format_parameters_w.htm

A bit more information would help the community pinpoint the specific issue if the "Writer Mode" doesn't work for you:

1) Would you be able to share a sample of your data and a copy of your workspace?

2) Are there any special characters or non-English characters in the data?

3) What version of FME are you using?
