I understand. If I can't work around this, I'll end up building
gdal the way I need it, and then the rest on top of it, but (hopefully) I
shouldn't have to go that far. I'm new to GIS data, so I'm still
getting used to the technology stack. There's so much to
learn!<br><br>
Thanks again for the info.<br>

GDAL is a hard one in the sense that there are too many things you can
and can't compile into it. I don't think there is any packaged
distribution of PostGIS (even Linux/Unix) that can claim they support all
the available GDAL drivers. I could be wrong. They probably
don't support a lot of the proprietary ones that require signing NDAs to
download the SDK at any rate.<br>

<font size=2 color="#0000FF">The only other thing we don't package is
SFCGAL which we are planning to package as part of PostGIS 2.2.
Again I don't think any Linux/Unix PostGIS distributions package SFCGAL
at this point.<br>

Thanks for the feedback. At least I know I understood the problem
correctly. I'll try converting the data as you suggest, or teasing
it with SciPy, at least until I can move the project onto a Linux
box.<br><br>
Is there a list of any other differences between the full PostGIS, and
what's in the Win executables? That would be good info to
have.<br><br>
Thanks again!<br>

<font size=2 color="#0000FF">You are correct the PostGIS windows GDAL lib
for raster support (which includes raster2pgsql) is not built with netcdf
support. We built it to not require extra dependencies beyond what
gdal includes,<br>
what you could do is use MS4W or
<a href="http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/">
http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/</a> and use gdal_translate to
convert to a supported format. Though this may not be an option
depending on what you want to read from it.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [postgis-users] raster2pgsql, netcdf, and windows<br>
</font><br>
Hi all,<br><br>
I'm new to PostGIS, so I apologize in advance if this has been asked and
answered, or if this the wrong place.<br><br>
I've just installed Postgres 9.3 on Windows 8.1 from pre-built binaries,
and had installed PostGIS 2.1.1 via Stack Builder . I'm trying to
use raster2pgsql on a netcdf file. Does anyone know if this is
supported on Windows? All I get is "unable to read raster
file". <br><br>
raster2pgsql -G yields a long list with nothing that looks like
netcdf. From what I've able to gather from the docs, there's some
underlying dependency with GDAL stuff. But on Windows, installing
from pre-built binaries, there's no separate gdal toolkit I can
see. I believe it's all already baked into the distributed
executable. If I need to alter the underlying tools, or rebuild
with a netcdf library, I'm not sure how I'd go about that. I can
probably build from sources if I have to, but I'd really rather not go
down that rabbit hole.<br><br>
I tried reinstalling PostGIS from the latest dev binary distribution, but
there's no difference.<br><br>
I was able to install MS4W, which includes a version of gdal tools for
Windows, and, using <i>that</i>, I can read the netcdf metadata, so I
know the file itself is good.<br><br>
Does anyone know how I can get raster2pgsql to recognize it? Did I
miss a step, or is this just not possible on Windows?<br><br>
Any suggestions, or pointers to additional info would be a big
help!<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
Mike <br>
