493,[wktraster] ST_DumpValues to Dump Pixel values,robe,pracine,"This is just a suggestion, and will probably become less useful as we build out the other functions.

I'm finding ST_Value to be the most useful function in the mix to build out all sorts of other plpgsql functions.  The problem is that the multiple calls is killing speed.

One trivial reason making ST_Value slower than it should be is that echo NOTICE in there.  Can we take that out or do I have some level of debugging enabled that I don't know about?

The other issue is the cost of going into the postgis raster layer. I think its the same issue with ran into with PostGIS why using ST_Dump was so much faster than doing the same thing with generate_series.

So anyway just thought I would throw it out there as a suggestion.

Now exploding out all values might be a bit too much -- so might want to add an x y range.
