Make postgis raster copy rows configurable

Description

A client asked me why does copy mode, always result in

COPY 11

11 rows per copy command.

I checked in the code, and it appears to be a hard-coded setting.

https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/raster/loader/raster2pgsql.c#L1518 https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/raster/loader/raster2pgsql.c#L1845

	if (tileset->length > 10) {
				if (!insert_records(
					config->schema, ovtable, config->raster_column,
					(config->file_column ? config->rt_filename[idx] : NULL), config->file_column_name,
					config->copy_statements, config->out_srid,
					tileset, buffer

I'm assuming this was put in place to get around some copy size limit. Can we get better load by increasing or making this configurable.

I was going to test this out to see. Given that the size of each row would be dependent on tile size, doesn't seem right it should always be 11.

Change History (11)

@kompza thanks for catching. I should have looked at the bots.

Thinking about it more, wondering if maybe I should have not introduced a new arg, and just reuse the -Y since -Y takes no args.

so a -Y would be what it was before default to 11. But a -Y <number> would then change the default. I'm going to revise to do that and see how that goes.

Definitely faster with larger chunks.

Timing for a 2g tif I was testing with 128x128 tiles

# took 6 hrs

raster2pgsql -e -I -Y -t 128x128

# took 1.5 hrs

raster2pgsql -e -I -Y -Z 50000 -t 128x128

# took 1 hrs

raster2pgsql -e -I -Y -Z 100000 -t 128x128

@kompza preferred just ingesting the whole thing as default and using longer switches like —max-tiles-per-copy.

I think switching to long aside from deviating from before is a much larger lift
