Dear FME community,

 

 

with the PostgreSQL reader you can sucessfully load attribute data. However, with the PostGIS reader you can read attribute data and as well as the geometry of the data.

 

 

So why are there still two readers for PostgreSQL/PostGIS? Is one of them suitable if you only want to load the attribute data?

 

 

In the manuell it only says that the "PostgreSQL reader/writer is specifically designed to handle the attribute portion of the data in the database". I was wondering what this means exactly. I currently don't see why I need the normal PostgreSQL reader if the PostGIS reader can handle both.

 

 

Kind regards from Germany
