Darrel,
What you are doing sounds fine. So not sure off hand why it doesn't work. Can you return the output of SELECT postgis_full_version(); Just want to see your GDAL version and also that your data directory is being picked up. Also there should be an error in the logs of PostGIS that should give more info about the error and if not, you can turn on logging in your db to see what queries QGIS is pushing. Logs are usually kept in postgres data folder in folder pg_logs. Hope that helps, Regina http://www.postgis.us http://postgis.net From: postgis-users [mailto:postgis-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Darrel Maddy Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 9:15 AM To: postgis-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [postgis-users] I am probably being stupid but I cannot get my rasters to display using QGIS Dear all, Please accept this elementary question but I have been struggling with this despite working through my copy of postgis in action (ver 2). I have imported my tifs into a table as follows (I am using postgres 9.4 and postgis 2.2.0): raster2pgsql -I -C -M *.tif -F -s 27700 testrast.all | psql -h localhost -U postgres -p 5433 -d postgisi_in_action The table appears in pgAdmin as expected. At this stage all I am trying to do is visualise one of the tifs (there are 30) in QGIS (2.10). I connect via dbmanager and can see the table. I have tried add to canvas on the 'all' table but it simply falls over. I also tried running a simple query in the sql window select rid,rast::geometry from testrast.all WHERE rid=1 and adding this as a layer. This produces a box (presumably just of the dimensions of the raster). How can I get it to display the actual raster image itself? Frankly I am embarrassed asking this question but I just don't see how to do this. Darrel
