[postgis-users] Raster support

[muhammad imran]

Hi RJ,
 
PostGIS has CHIP data type for raster storage however its very simple and does not support complex raster operations like oracle Georaster. also its does not support R-tree, GIST index implicitly and you need to create the geometry objects explicilty for such index support.
Xing Lin has developed a PGRaster data type for raster data but the design and implementation is subject to patent voilation by oracle and you cannot use it commercialy.
for more details read raster notes at http://postgis.refractions.net/support/wiki/index.php?RasterNotes
 
kind regards

Hi all,
Is it possible to add raster data in PostGIS similar to oracle Georaster.
Best Regards
RJ
