ST_BandMetaData

Description

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

	If raster contains no bands then an error is thrown.

	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
