10.5. Raster Band Accessors

Name

ST_BandMetaData — Returns basic meta data for a specific raster band. band num 1 is assumed if none-specified.

Synopsis

(1) record +`*`+ST_BandMetaData*(`raster `rast, integer band=1`)`;

(2) record +`*`+ST_BandMetaData*(`raster `rast, integer[] band`)`;

Description

Returns basic meta data about a raster band. Columns returned: pixeltype, nodatavalue, isoutdb, path, outdbbandnum, filesize, filetimestamp.

Note

If raster contains no bands then an error is thrown.

Note

If band has no NODATA value, nodatavalue are NULL.

If isoutdb is False, path, outdbbandnum, filesize and filetimestamp are NULL. If outdb access is disabled, filesize and filetimestamp will also be NULL.

Enhanced: 2.5.0 to include outdbbandnum, filesize and filetimestamp for outdb rasters.

Examples: Variant 1

    rid,
    (foo.md).*

    SELECT
        rid,
        ST_BandMetaData(rast, 1) AS md
    FROM dummy_rast
    WHERE rid=2
) As foo;
