[Live-demo] Postgis questions

[Regina Obe]

All drivers are disabled by default as a security precaution.

 

However if you are running PostgreSQL 9.4 or above, you should be able to set these with ALTER SYSTEM, which is cross-platform way of doing it.

 

The link that Brian provided does have an example of ALTER SYSTEM - http://postgis.net/docs/postgis_gdal_enabled_drivers.html

 

So if  you run the below in psql or pgAdmin, you should be able to access all drivers permanently (since ALTER SYSTEM settings get stored in postgresql.auto.conf that gets loaded on each postgresq server startup)

 

ALTER SYSTEM SET postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers TO 'ENABLE_ALL';

SELECT pg_reload_conf();

 

Then you can confirm it works by running this query:

 

SELECT * FROM ST_GDALDrivers();

 

 

Hope that helps,

Regina

Hi Pieter --

 

  oh, ok.. thats new to me..

  according to the PostGIS docs page..

   http://postgis.net/docs/postgis_gdal_enabled_drivers.html

 

  those variables can be set at all levels..

  cluster-wide -> postgresql.conf

  database-persistant ->  ALTER DATABASE ...

  database-temp, psql session temp  ->  set ....

 

also apparently SHELL with bash-style environment vars, as in .bashrc

 

I would think that all gdal drivers would be enabled by default, and that really you

need  raster out_db set...  so I look here

    http://postgis.net/docs/postgis_enable_outdb_rasters.html

 

make sense ?

Hi Brian

Thx for the info, but what I really need is where to 

postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers = 'ENABLE_ALL'
and postgis.enable_outdb_rasters=1
in Ubuntu 14.04, and system wide
I did it previously in my .bashrc, but for some reason its not
working now.

Hi Pieter --

 

  I have an a2 build running in a VM.

 

user at live95a:~$ locate raster.tif        <= there is an example file for a QGis plugin called this

user at live95a:~$ gdalinfo /path/to/raster.tif

   hmm non-trivial .. open qgis to let qgis do the work

   qgis shows the projection is EPSG:32633

 

user at live95a:~$  createdb raster_test

user at live95a:~$ psql -c 'create extension postgis' raster_test

user at live95a:~$ psql -c 'select postgis_full_version()' raster_test

    yes, RASTER is enabled

    use raster2pgsql to load a raster, as per PostGIS raster manual

 

user at live95a:~$ raster2pgsql -s 32633 -I -C /path/to/raster.tif  raster_test | less

    inspect output, yes looks valid

 

user at live95a:~$ raster2pgsql -s 32633 -I -C /path/to/raster.tif  raster_test | psql raster_test

user at live95a:~$ psql -c '\d raster_test'

    note rid, rast columns.. lots of other detail

    better command line would name the tables, split into tiles, etc...

I am struggling to enable postgis gdal drivers and outdb rasters on Ubuntu (using postgis from the osgeolive nightly, so its for trusty.

How do I go about enabling them in Ubuntu Trusty?

I have tried setting it in .profile, as well as .bashrc systemwide etc..., but no luck.

Any help?

Regards

Pieter
