[postgis-users] PostGis Raster questions

[Giannis Giakoumidakis]

Hello Jorge and thanks for the answer,

I use for this work Windows 7 and I'm a bit confused with the tools but i think that i have already done with the installations, by following exactly this post: http://gis4free.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/how-to-install-and-configure-postgis-raster-on-windows/.

After this i upload normally raster images to my database (at template_postgis20) but when i connect to QGIS they have no geometry, so i can't display them in QGIS. Is this possible to happen or i have understood wrong and I can only use them for queries? Also, I can't find any QGIS Postgis raster plugin for Windows, any further help for this? 


Thank you very much.

Hello Giannis,

You need the GDAL PostGIS Raster driver to connect with programs like
QGIS. Plus, if you use QGIS, you can download the PostGIS Raster
plugin from http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis_1.0/contributed/wktraster.zip

WKT Raster was the old name of the extension. Now is known as PostGIS Raster.

BTW, you need GDAL 1.8 or higher. The driver version included in GDAL
1.7 had bugs, fixed in 1.8. And I'm working in the driver right now.
The new version (faster and improved) will be packed in GDAL 1.8.2, I
hope (and before, if you use GDAL trunk).

Anyway, Could you please try with QGIS + QGIS PostGIS Raster plugin?
And GDAL 1.8.1

Best regards,
