Name

ST_SetBandIsNoData — Sets the isnodata flag of the band to TRUE.

Synopsis

raster ST_SetBandIsNoData(raster rast, integer band=1);

Description

Sets the isnodata flag for the band to true. Band 1 is assumed if not specified. This function should be called only when the flag is considered dirty. That is, when the result calling ST_BandIsNoData is different using TRUE as last argument and without using it

Availability: 2.0.0

Examples

This example creates a dummy table with one raster column. The raster has two bands and one pixel per band. In the first band, the NODATA value and pixel value are both 3. In the second band, the NODATA value is 13 and the pixel value is 4.

Code
create table dummy_rast (rid integer, rast raster);

insert into dummy_rast values(

select ST_BandIsNoData(rast, 1) from dummy_rast where rid = 1; -- Expected false
select ST_BandIsNoData(rast, 1, TRUE) from dummy_rast where rid = 1; -- Expected true
                    

The isnodata flag is dirty, so set it to true.

Code
update dummy_rast set rast = ST_SetBandIsNoData(rast, 1) where rid = 1;


select ST_BandIsNoData(rast, 1) from dummy_rast where rid = 1; -- Expected true
