    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, Brian and Etienne.<br>
      Well, GDAL 1.7.3 was one of the first efforts to read postgis
      raster, back in the release candidate days. A few months before
      the release of postgis 2.0 there was a major change in the raster
      storage and some code was discontinued. GDAL 1.9.0 was the first
      release after postgis 2.0 was released so it's the first version
      that is compatible.<br>
      <br>
      Fortunately, vector data is a mature standard inside postgis and
      didn't suffer any major changes that could break previous working
      code. <br>
      <br>
      Even though we were all notified by these changes, some of our
      previous work doesn't work with the current version. It was a huge
      improvement in raster storage and metadata retrieval, so we have
      to cope with it.<br>
      <br>
      I'm releasing the new plugin version with the weak loader tonight.
      It should be enough to upload one untiled raster with no overviews
      to the database. <br>
      <br>
      I'm using ubuntugis' repositories. The gdal package available on
      it is version 1.9.1 so you might want to try those binaries, since
      they work pretty well.<br>
      <br>
      All the best,<br>

              <div>Hi Brian,<br>
                I downloaded the sample data and imported to my database
                and it seems to work pretty well. I'm using QGIS 1.8,
                postgis 2.0, postgres 9.1.5, gdal 1.9.1 on ubuntu 12.04.<br>
                <br>
                Sorry for my ignorance but what GDAL version is being
                released with linux mint? I couldn't find anywhere
                online.<br>
                <br>
                The plugin heavily relies on GDAL to perform the
                visualization so you need the latest GDAL available to
                get a decent performance.<br>
                <br>
                From my first tests I can say that GDAL 1.9.1 has
                greatly improved performance and the next versions
                should improve even further. The fastest visualization
                that I have achieved with version 1.9.1 is with single
                tiled raster files. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get
                GDAL to use overviews so far, but Jorge (GDAL's postgis
                raster developper) is researching on this subject.<br>
                <br>
                GDAL versions bellow 1.9 should not be able to read
                postgis 2.0.<br>
                <br>
                Unfortunately, since postgis 2.0 release, the python
                loader was discontinued in postgis source. Recently I
                have started to make the necessary changes starting from
                the old code to get it to work. I don't know if this is
                going to be a good solution but it seems possible. I'm
                trying to avoid the platform-dependent compilation that
                postgis' raster loader has in version 2.0 now that it's
                being entirely written in C. In the future I should
                probably release a simple uploader with the plugin,
                without all those options until I'm certain that
                everything is working according to the standard.<br>
                <br>
                I'm copying this mail to the list to allow other users
                to find this thread later.
