      What Debezium connector do you use and what version?

      Embedded Debezium with Postgres SQL. 

      Version: 2.6.1.Final

      Also tested with 2.3.7.Final and 2.7.0.Alpha2

      What is the connector configuration?

      What is the captured database version and mode of deployment?

      Local Postgres deployed in Docker using image "postgis/postgis:15-3.4-alpine"

      What behaviour do you expect?

      Events must have the columns col_geography and col_geometry with non null values during snapshot.

      What behaviour do you see?

      Both the columns col_geography and col_geometry have null values during snapshot (works fine during streaming).

      Do you see the same behaviour using the latest released Debezium version?

      (Ideally, also verify with latest Alpha/Beta/CR version)

      Yes. Checked in 2.6.1.Final and 2.7.0.Alpha2

      Do you have the connector logs, ideally from start till finish?

      (You might be asked later to provide DEBUG/TRACE level log)

      Yes. Attached below

      dz-debug-logs.txt

      How to reproduce the issue using our tutorial deployment?

      In Postgres, run the below queries to setup the database:

       

      -- Enables PostGIS extension that makes geography and geometry types available
      create extension if not exists postgis;
      
      -- Create table
      create table alltypes(
          col_smallserial smallserial primary key,
          col_geography geography,
          col_geometry geometry
      );
      
      -- Insert one record
      insert
          into
          alltypes
      values (
          default,
          ST_GeographyFromText('POINT(-22.6056 63.9850)'),
          'LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1, 2 1, 2 2)'
      );
      
      

       

       

      Run an initial Snapshot on the table using Debezium with the previously mentioned configuration (or similar).

      The columns col_geography and col_geometry would be emitted with null values.

      The same columns are emitted with the correct values during streaming.

      On further debugging, saw that the problem is that the values are expected to be in hexadecimal but they are not. (attached the screenshot).

      We can see from logs the errors:

      ...

      Feature request or enhancement

      For feature requests or enhancements, provide this information, please:

      Which use case/requirement will be addressed by the proposed feature?

      Geography and Geometry columns would be captured during snapshots.

      Implementation ideas (optional)

      Perhaps we can check if the value is actually a hex string. If not, convert the string value to bytes and then call "PostGisGeometry.fromEwkb(byte[] ewkb)".
