    v185 v186  
    535535 * Idem for the raster_overview table.

    537 PostGIS is using the typmod feature of PostgreSQL to 'store' metadata about a table and then display them in the geometry_column view. Unfortunately the typmod is limited to XXX byte and there is too much information to 'store' about a raster table to use typmod. PostGIS raster will therefore use another approch consisting in 'store' metadata about a raster table as constraint on the table. A set of constraint will be applied to a raster table and those constraint will be read and displayed by the raster_column view.
