<br>
<br>
I haven't used this mailing list before and couldn't figure out
how to search in the archives, so I apologize if this has been
answered before.
<br>
<br>
Is there any specific reason why the raster type does not have the
send/receive functions in its SQL type definition?
<br>
The geometry type has these defined as conversions to/from EWKB,
which are equivalent to ST_AsEWKB/ST_GeomFromEWKB if I understand
correctly.
<br>
Equivalent (E?)WKB conversion functions exist for rasters in the
form of (RT_)ST_AsBinary/ST_RastFromWKB, but have to be called
explicitly.
<br>
I would like to use PostgreSQL features like COPY ... WITH BINARY
with rasters, but it seems this is preventing me from doing so.
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,
<br>
<br>
Lukas
