v29 v30 278 278 If the RASTER_COLUMNS "regular_blocking" value is true then "all blocks are equal sized, abutted and non-overlapping, started at top left origin", plus additional constraints. This regular blocking capability raises the possibility of having very large contiguous raster coverages (made up of many individual WKTRaster-s) which, in turn, raises potential performance problems. Other raster formats counter this by having overviews; a concept that is already [http://www.gdal.org/gdaladdo.html supported] by [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL]. 279 279 280 The overviews support was discussed on Martin Daly'sinitiative and is available in the [http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-devel postgis-devel] archives under thread [http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2009-May/005619.html WKTRaster & overviews].280 The overviews support was discussed on [http://blog.lostinspatial.com/ Martin Daly]'s (Cadcorp) initiative and is available in the [http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-devel postgis-devel] archives under thread [http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2009-May/005619.html WKTRaster & overviews]. 281 281 282 282 The following metadata table provides external applications and possibly internal tools the ability to discover tables that contain overview raster data, and to learn various information about those datasets.
