But usually you will want to tile your raster.
If usually or often or sporadically, that is a matter of a different discussion and as a proof that things may not be as obvious as they seem, you may search postgis-devel for discussions I had with other developers of PostGIS Raster where I argue that tiling (specifically, regular grid tiling) is common use case, they argue it is not. Second, "to tile your raster" is not very precise. In PostGIS Raster you have infinite schemes of tiling: regular blocking or your own, where the latter may be regular, irregular, with or w/o overlapped tiles, etc. > AFAIK the maximum width x height permitted in PostGIS Raster is 65535 x 65535. Yes, and you can have, for instance, three rows: 1 with 65535x65535 raster 1 with 32767x32767 raster 1 with 1x1 raster Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
