This may be a basic issue, but I'm on a steep learning curve with respect to raster analysis and PostGIS 2.0.
I have a large land use raster file ( w001001.adf ) projected in EPSG:3577 - GDA94 / Australian Albers. In QGIS when opening this file, I can do an "on the fly" CRS transformation to SRID 4326 and all is good.
When importing this file into PostGIS, is it possible to transform this file into a geographic coordinate system, and if so, how?
I've loaded the data into PostGIS using: raster2pgsql -s 4326 -I -C -M w001001.adf -F -t 5000x5000 landuse_50m | psql -U postgres -d test
However, when I then view the resultant PostGIS table in OPENJUMP, the data remains in the projected coordinate system rather than the geographic coordinate system. i.e. upper left = -1888000.000,-1010000.000, not decimal degrees.
Details of w001001.adf are as follows:
gdalinfo w001001.adf file

Is there something I'm not doing, or understanding? Could someone please help me out?
Kind regards, Mark
