Name

ST_Band — Returns one or more bands of an existing raster as a new raster. Useful for building new rasters from existing rasters.

Synopsis

raster ST_Band(raster rast, integer[] nbands = ARRAY[1]);

raster ST_Band(raster rast, integer nband);

raster ST_Band(raster rast, text nbands, character delimiter=,);

Descripción

Returns one or more bands of an existing raster as a new raster. Useful for building new rasters from existing rasters or export of only selected bands of a raster or rearranging the order of bands in a raster. If no band is specified or any of specified bands does not exist in the raster, then all bands are returned. Used as a helper function in various functions such as for deleting a band.

[Warning]

For the nbands as text variant of function, the default delimiter is , which means you can ask for '1,2,3' and if you wanted to use a different delimiter you would do ST_Band(rast, '1@2@3', '@'). For asking for multiple bands, we strongly suggest you use the array form of this function e.g. ST_Band(rast, '{1,2,3}'::int[]); since the text list of bands form may be removed in future versions of PostGIS.
