[postgis-users] PostGIS Raster Decimal?

[Pierre Racine]

I'm very aware of the problem. Will try to fix it the best we can.

Why not testing ST_MapAlgebra and give us your feedback? It is still to document but the specifications are in this page:

Hi Pierre.

Yes. I think that would be an appropriate temporary fix.
Still, a bit problematic when working with climate data which very often include decimal digits and often have weekly and monthly rasters for 100's of years :)

Good luck.

Best,
Andreas

Andreas,

This is a well known problem. See ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/650

I will discuss this problem with Frank this week at the code sprint in Montreal.

For now you can use some GIS with map algebra capability to multiply your raster by 10 before importing or test our brand new ST_MapAlgebra function (still to debug).
