<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As you know I am relatively new to postgis and SQL and therefore I have much to learn. However, I am facing a paper deadline and need to do some quick analysis of the data I have and I am struggling to figure out how
best to pursue what I need to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I have a significant number of rasters which have double precision values. Without going into detail about what the rasters represent, I need to extract and sum values from one set of rasters in say table A based upon
values in another set of rasters in say table B where the pixel value in the raster from Table B exceeds a threshold. Both tables are the same size (rasters are tiled) but I also need to figure out how I make sure the correct rasters are compared. They
have filenames like this rastervariable_10.tif, rastervariable_100.tif , presumably I need to use a logical expression to strip the numerical value (in this case this represents the year) and then order on that basis?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I can do this in QGIS one at a time but that is a little clumsy and rather time consuming.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If someone can just point me in the right direction I am sure I can figure out the rest for myself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Apologies once more for asking what is probably a rather trivial question and yet again demonstrating my ignorance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
