Geometry attribute desapearing when using PostGIS reader

Hi @varr, the PostGIS reader automatically transforms the value stored in a geometry type column into a geometry data (a point in your case), and won't preserve the original value as an attribute. I think you can see a point shape on FME Data Inspector if you connect an Inspector to the reader and run the workspace. If you need to retrieve the geometry column valud as a string in binary representation, try using the PostgreSQL reader instead of the PostGIS reader.

The geometry attributes aren't shown in the workspace, as the geometry is a separate property of each feature and represented separately.

If you send the features from the reader to an Inspector, can you see the geometries there? If yes, then everything is as expected.

Indeed, I just send the features to an Inspector and the result is what I expect. Also I am using the transformer "reframe projector" and when sending the result to an Inspector it works too.

But when I try to give the result to the writer, the translation fails. It tells me that the writer couldn't find the spatial column "geom" in the table. So the problem might com from the writer (also PostGIS writer)??
