AWS Glue does not natively support Well-known Text (WKT), Well-Known Binary (WKB), or
other PostGIS data types. The AWS Glue classifier parses geospatial data and classifies
them using supported data types for the format, such as varchar
for CSV. As
with other AWS Glue tables, you may need to update the properties of tables created from
geospatial data to allow Athena to parse these data types as-is. For more information,
see Use a crawler to add a table and Work with CSV data in AWS Glue. Athena may not be able to parse
some geospatial data types in AWS Glue tables as-is. For more information about working
with geospatial data in Athena, see Query geospatial data.
