<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please accept this elementary question but I have been struggling with this despite working through my copy of postgis in action (ver 2).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have imported my tifs into a table as follows (I am using postgres 9.4 and postgis 2.2.0):
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">raster2pgsql -I -C -M *.tif -F -s 27700 testrast.all | psql -h localhost -U postgres -p 5433 -d postgisi_in_action<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The table appears in pgAdmin as expected. At this stage all I am trying to do is visualise one of the tifs (there are 30) in QGIS (2.10). I connect via dbmanager and can see the table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried add to canvas on the ‘all’ table but it simply falls over. I also tried running a simple query in the sql window<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">select rid,rast::geometry from testrast.all WHERE rid=1 and adding this as a layer. This produces a box (presumably just of the dimensions of the raster).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How can I get it to display the actual raster image itself?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Frankly I am embarrassed asking this question but I just don’t see how to do this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
