tested MapServer since GDAL 1.7, but will be good to see how Jorge's GDAL
1.8 improvements work with MapServer now. We were able
to load back then with some issues but wasn't really testing for
speed. We were too ecstatic when our layers actually showed up
in MapServer and that we were able to do both band and attribute filters on
top of it that we weren't even thinking about speed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Actually the plugin was born in really speedy fashion. I think that
at the moment it speaks for itself as it's actually very simple.<BR>I could
test the UI on windows, if that's what you need, but to actually read the
raster you need gdal recognizing postgis rasters so only for 1.7
builds.<BR>That's why i was able to alter it on windows. I can test the plugin
part. I can't test GDAL part.<BR>QGIS is releasing a new version these weeks.
I'm going to ask if is anyone going to compile a windows build with gdal 1.7
or (with luck) 1.8.<BR>What kind of demo do you need? I don't have a hosting
for the plugin at the moment but I can produce some ubuntu's screenshots (or
even a video).<BR>The plugin's fairly simple, though.<BR>For the next request
(a tool to process the queries), QGIS does have a really nice tool called
RT_Sql to execute PostGIS SQL queries.<BR>I don't really know if I should
bring a new tool to the application doing almost the same thing with just
different datasources.<BR>What can be done is to talk with the guys who
developped RT_Sql and check if they don't want a little improvement to cope
with raster layers too.<BR><BR>Anyway, there is still a mystic point for me:
some processing returns vector and some return rasters (and I don'nt think
that's all). That's... odd to cope with. I'm still giving some thought to it.
I still need to read how postgis raster processing works and gives
results.<BR>Best regards,<BR>Mauricio de Paulo<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV><BR>> Great team work that you and Jorge are doing!<BR>> Any
other sugestions on what a "Load postgis raster" plugin should do?<BR>Your
wrote yesterday:<BR>> "Stefan asked about the processing. This is
something the plugin doesn't<BR>do."<BR>> Is this feature request already
solved?<BR>> If not, I would be happy with a free text input window for
entering SQL<BR>queries as an alternative for "power users".<BR><BR>>
Yours, S.<BR></DIV>Yes that would definitely be a great feature as well as
having it in a<BR>pre-compiled windows build.<BR><BR>Mauricio,<BR><BR>Do you
have a link for more information about this plugin. I'd like
to<BR>include it as part of the PostGIS manual and PostGIS raster
wiki.<BR>Unfortunately we don't have a build environment for QGIS, but if
there is a<BR>windows build,Leo and I would be happy to write up a
demo on using the tool<BR>And at the very least we'll be mentioning it in
the PostGIS in Action book<BR>if not including snapshots as
well.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Regina and Leo,<BR><A href="http://www.postgis.us"
