[Gdal-dev] Storing Rasters in Databases

[Howard Butler]

Sy,

There's always ArcSDE, of course.  It doesn't really provide you much 
sql-level access to the data though, so outside of a kind of slow, 
across-the-network bucket of bits, I don't know how much other 
utility it brings.

I hope to have the GDAL driver done that reads ArcSDE data by the end 
of March 
<http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2006-December/011133.html>. 
There is code currently in subversion that can read data, but it is 
very crude and guaranteed to frustrate (testers wanted ;)

Cheers

Howard
