Hi Jorge,

Thx for the answer! Seems I did a nice mess with the install, because I did install it with the --with-raster configure option! I'll try to fix it as soon as possible (I'm not on the same computer right now, so that it'll have to wait a bit). Do you think it would be safer to reinstall everything, in order to have a fresh install?

I will also check the NAs of the map (that's weird, too: there are no NAs on this map, but I guess they are internally set anyway). What puzzled me is that it worked for other maps with the same procedure...

I'll let you know, thx again!
Mathieu.

Dear users,

I have a problem while trying to import a raster into PostGIS
(2.0.0SVN), using WKTRaster (0.1.6d), on a Debian system.

This is a raster exported from GRASS as GeoTiff, using a float32 format
(this is a density map). I then used:

mathieu@Caribou$ /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/gdal2raster.py -r
RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.tif -t
roaddensity_2002_2006_cv_utm19_25m -s 26919 -k 50x50 -I>
RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql

and finally to import into PostGIS, as the postgres user:
postgres@Caribou:/home/mathieu$ psql -f
RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql geodb
BEGIN
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:2: NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE
créera des séquences implicites «
roaddensity_2002_2006_cv_utm19_25m_rid_seq » pour la colonne serial «
roaddensity_2002_2006_cv_utm19_25m.rid »
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:2: NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE /
PRIMARY KEY créera un index implicite «
roaddensity_2002_2006_cv_utm19_25m_pkey » pour la table «
roaddensity_2002_2006_cv_utm19_25m »
CREATE TABLE
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:3: ERREUR:  la colonne « nan
» n'existe pas
LIGNE 1 : ...','rast',26919, ARRAY['32BF'], false, true, ARRAY[nan], 25.0...
                                                               ^
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:4: ERREUR:  la transaction
est annulée, les commandes sont ignorées jusqu'à la fin du bloc
de la transaction
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:5: ERREUR:  la transaction
est annulée, les commandes sont ignorées jusqu'à la fin du bloc
de la transaction
psql:RoadDensity_2002_2006_CV_UTM19_25m.sql:6: ERREUR:  la transaction
est annulée, les commandes sont ignorées jusqu'à la fin du bloc
de la transaction
...

And it continues for every line (or until I stop it). In the end, the
table is not imported at all. (sorry if parts of the ouputs are in
French: the first error message is simply: "the column "nan" does not
exist", and the next ones says "the transaction is cancelled, all
commands will be ignored until the end of the bloc of the transaction")

Note that this is the exact same approach that I am generally using,
without any problem for other maps (including density maps as float32).

I am new to PostGIS and the SQL world, so it might be an easy one...
Yet, I still have no idea what's wrong here. I welcome any pointer!

All the best,
Mathieu.

The error is caused because the NODATA value for the band is not a
number. Probably, the GetNodata function for this band returns NULL,
and this situation is not managed in the loader code. Let me check it
and open a new ticket if needed.

Anyway, you're using PostGIS 2.0SVN. With this version you don't need
WKTRaster 0.1.6d separately. Actually, WKTRaster 0.1.6d is not longer
mantained, and it probably will cause errors (like this) if you use it
with PostGIS from trunk.

The raster extension (now "PostGIS Raster" instead of WKTRaster) is
included as official part of PostGIS. You can enable it by compiling
PostGIS in this way:

./configure --with-raster
make
make install
createdb<your_database>
createlang plpgsql<your_database>
psql -f postgis/postgis.sql -d<your_database>
psql -f spatial_ref_sys.sql -d<your_database>
psql -f raster/rt_pg/rtpostgis.sql -d<your_database>

Now, you can load raster data in<your_database>  with the new version
of the loader script: raster2pgsql.py (in
<postgis_src_root>/raster/scripts/python). Same syntax than the older
gdal2wktraster.py script.
