Additional Information

When the spatial table has records the output layer is correctly added to the map and the attribute table can be opened. When the spatial table does not have any records, users must make a Query Layer and define the geometry type, otherwise the layer is created with a blank or any geometry type, which results in the same error in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro: "No support for this geometry type."

Workaround

Use one of the following workarounds:
  • In PostgreSQL, create the spatial table with ObjectID as Primary Key.

"objectid integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('oid'::regclass) PRIMARY KEY "

  • Load the spatial table to the map first. When choosing inputs for the Make Feature Layer tool, use the drop-down, and select the loaded layer.
