Hi Andreas

Yes it does exist in the geometry column view but the type is listed as 
GEOMETRY.

This table is being created from a non-spatial SQL Server table, and we use a 
vertex creator transformer in FME to create the spatial table – we cannot seem 
to explicitly specify the geometry that the spatial table should be as it is 
not a spatial layer when imported?

Hi Chris,

That's true - starting from Postgis 2.0, geometry_columns is a view in the 
public schema.

Did you check if that view exists and if the view contains an entry for your 
spatial table?

Also make sure, when importing from FME, that you restrict your geometry type 
to either POINT, POLYGON, LINESTRING, COMPOUNDCURVE or the MULTI versions. QGIS 
likes a single geometry type per table, while Postgis would permit to store 
mixed geometry types in the same geometry column.

Maybe you did not specify this geometry type restriction when importing your 
data with FME.

Hi

I have been using FME to load some data into PostGIS and view it in QGIS 2.12.3.

I am finding that when accessing the data in DB Manager, I get a warning that 
says ‘There is no entry in geometry_columns!’.

On asking another user they mentioned that the geometry columns table was 
removed in PostGIS 2.0, so my question is, is this a known issue / bug within 
QGIS, or is it the way in which I am storing my data? Just wondering if this 
will be looked at in future QGIS versions.

Thanks, Chris
