Comment(by mloskot):

 Replying to [comment:19 pracine]:
 > There we go... Mat understand everything he did not design! Then what
 was the purpose of ST_BandPath()? Tell me please so I understand the
 purpose of PostGIS raster!

 Sandro explained to me that the RFC for WKB does not discuss or
 investigate out-db mode. Second, use of local paths is such obvious no-no,
 that it can't be seriously considered. Whoever considers it for public SQL
 API use cases like in PostGIS lacks of understanding here. PostgreSQL is
 not yet another embedded SQLite, is it.
