I am trying to connect from Alteryx using psqlodbc driver. The geometry_columns table is not populated for the table I am trying to access, since it's got no spatial data.

Sounds like whatever system you are using is designed to work with spatial tables. Like as I recall I think ArcMap uses PostgreSQL ODBC driver. There isn’t any reason otherwise why you should be having issue connecting to a non-spatial table. I connect via SQL Server and MS Access all the time even when I have spatial tables in my database. There isn’t even any reason why a system would check geometry_columns unless it’s designed to work with spatial data.

I have Postgis extension installed on my DB and when trying to query the non-spatial tables from the tool, I keep getting the error "no records returned from GEOMETRY_COLUMNS for this table". Is there any environment variable that would let the ODBC know that its a non spatial table and avoid looking into GEOMETRY_COLUMNS view ?
