[postgis-users] Retrieving Data from PostGIS Raster using ST_Value

[Pierre Racine]

If you want to get all the values for every pixel do:

SELECT (ST_DumpAsPolyogns(rast)).val
FROM your table

Can I ask why you want to do that? Normally people want to extract values intersecting with a polygon or a point.

You can also get the histogram of the raster using ST_Histogram().

Subject: [postgis-users] Retrieving Data from PostGIS Raster using ST_Value

Hello Everyone,

I am very new to using PostGIS Raster.  I need to retrieve data fields
from a tile loaded into the database.  Using ST_Height and ST_Width, I
get the number of rows and columns and iterate over these using the
ST_Value to retrieve the data.  This is extremely slow taking 1/2 hour
to get all of the data required.  Is there a faster way to accomplish this?

Thanks!
