Welcome to the FME Community @adeel182. Are you able to upload your log file and/or workspace (.fmw) here? It will help us troubleshoot to see if there's anything obvious.

Can you ensure that you don't have the Writer redirecting to FME Data Inspector:

If this is enabled, I think the workspace will run successfully bring up the results in Visual Preview without writing it out to the destination.

Thank you for the quick response! Yes I did indeed have that redirect turned on. I've turned it off and ran again and it didn't seem to fix the issue unfortunately. Sure I've attached my fmw file and will reply with log.

Ok I think I got it working. The fix? I just had to name the table using all lower case letters. I don't know how that works but I'm rolling with it. Postgres has some issues with capitalized letters in table names. Thank you guys!

You just have to be careful about casing when doing the selects, e.g.

select * from "TableWithMixedCase"

is not the same as

select * from TableWithMixedCase

Notice the double quotes to imply that the case is literal and not just informational.

The first statement will actually look in the table TableWithMixedCase, the second one will look for a table tablewithmixedcase, as postgres defaults to lower case table names.
