v39 v40 132 132 }}} 133 133 134 As you can see, unlike most raster coverage loaded into a GIS, the area covered by this single table raster coverage is not strictly rectangular and the two big missing square areas are not filled with nodata values. Here you have only one table for the whole coverage which is build from many raster files loaded in a single step. You don't need 13 tables to store 13 rasters. We did this with one band SRTM files in TIF format, but it could have been 3 bands BMP files o f JPEGand the total size of the coverage does not really matter (PostgreSQL has a limit of 32 terabytes)...134 As you can see, unlike most raster coverage loaded into a GIS, the area covered by this single table raster coverage is not strictly rectangular and the two big missing square areas are not filled with nodata values.

Just type the following SQL query in the same query dialog:
