orthophoto is a view defined on my raster table, registered in the
geometry_columns table.
<...snippet...>
# the orthophoto tileindex layer

end
I find it useful to store all geo-related info into postgis (base
repository for my Spatial Data Infrastructure).
I can switch the tileindex layer on when debugging my application,
instead of displaying the raster data (just showing the rasters'
bouding boxes in the map)
