[postgis-users] How can I optimize a raster in postgis 2 for display?

Did you try to change the color of the layer in the QGIS? Try to change from the grayscale to PseudoColor in the properties of the layer.
The raster2pgsql works fine but you can also use the QGIS plugin Postgis Raster.
Related with the georeference I don't know if you add the parameter -s when you import the layer but if not, that is important since SRID is required to support coordinate transformations inside the database.
I hope I helped.

thanks for your interest.
as Pierre advised I need to be sure the GDAL version is the latest.
I do have QGIS 1.8 but many plugins were not updated due to account privileges limitations. (I think)...
100mb... mmm... that would be a problem. many of the images i have in sde/sql server are in the order of hundreds of gigabytes.
I was testing on smaller ones (geologic maps).

When the raster (finally) appears in QGIS canvas, it is not georeferenced even though spatial reference appears in the metadata, as you can see.
This is the command I used to load this raster:
raster2pgsql
-I
-C
-e
-Y
E:\0_Postgis_Exports\Ambiental_Geologia_Rasters\ab_ele.img (Erdas img, 32mb)
-F
-M
-s 32161 (PR and USVI, NAD83, State Plane Coord Syst)
-t 128x128 (maybe this could be less than 100x100)
-l 6 (I do need to read more about this. I let ArcGIS decide that by default. The sde raster indicated “6” levels and I just used that number here.
ambiental_topografia_rasters_mdt.ab_ele |
psql
-d gisogp
-h 172.16.110.238
-p 5432
-U postgres
This raster (a DEM) appears all gray. Looks like it does not have statistics computed, just like happens in sde when statistics are not calculated.
I’d like to know more about how overviews work in PGIS Raster and also about if statistics are needed in PGIS Raster.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Santiago,
Which version of QGIS you are using? I have QGIS 1.8 and works fine for displaying rasters (at 100mb) more than that sometimes I have troubles. See the metadata of the files after import to QGIS to check if everything is OK and try to change the appearance
of the files in the properties (color ramp).
QGIS 1.7 had some problems with the Postgis 2.0

> The QGIS PostGIS raster plugin use GDAL to read rasters stored in PostGIS. I guess (but this is still not clear to me as I use OpenJump, not QGIS, to display vectorizations of PostGIS rasters), the last development version of the GDAL driver supports overviews.
So:
