ST_BandMetaData

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.

[Note]

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

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