I have pdf files stored as a blob in Oracle (11.2). I am trying to convert to PostGIS (9.3) bytea.  The tables gets created when running the workbench but the records fail to be written and the workbench hangs - no error and does not complete. The workbench does complete if i exclude the blob column. I have the same results if i use the PostGRES writer. Uinsg FME 2014.

Slow writing of data as bytea with the PostGIS Writer is a known issue in FME. Development is working on improving it as PR# 57164.
