There used to be a QGIS plugin for this (see: <a href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/wktraster/">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/wktraster/</a>) but for some reason<div>it did not work in 2.* versions, which was never resolved. This would be a very useful plugin, esp. with the</div><div>arrival of Sentinel-2 (full, free and open) optical data which is delivered in fixed UTM frames (which allow for</div><div>some very nifty postgis raster access).</div><div><br /></div><div>Guido<br /><div><div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;"><div><br /></div><div>On 11/06/15, <b class="name">Darrel Maddy </b> <darrel.maddy@newcastle.ac.uk> wrote:</div><blockquote cite="mid: <DB3PR07MB073024FBBE7DEB9317C5EFB7C1280@DB3PR07MB0730.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com" class="iwcQuote" style="border-left: 1px solid #00F; padding-left: 13px; margin-left: 0;" type="cite"><div class="mimepart text html"><span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"><p>

<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>
