When I update columns with the Oracle Non-Spatial writer on a Oracle table which contains a Geometry column that geometry is altert. The column is not listed in the 'User attributes' tab of the writer (Geometry never appears there) and on the 'Format Parameters'-tab there are no references to geometry. Despite of using the non-spatial writer it still writes or removes the geometry.

I am aware of the Oracle Spatial Writer option 'Update Spatial Colum(s)' to prevent so.

Advice: do not alter spatial column with the Oracle Non-Spatial writer

Would need to make that really clear to stop any regression by others actually using that feature.

Recently came across an issue using DatabaseUpdater where FME 2015 only updated attributes (what I wanted), but running same workspace in FME 2016 actually modified the geometry as well which my customer wasn't happy about.
