Name
AddRasterConstraints — Adds raster constraints to a loaded raster table for a specific column that constrains spatial ref, scaling, blocksize, alignment, bands, band type and a flag to denote if raster column is regularly blocked. The table must be loaded with data for the constraints to be inferred. Returns true of the constraint setting was accomplished and if issues a notice.

Description
Generates constraints on a raster column that are used to display information in the raster_columns raster catalog.
The rastschema is the name of the table schema the table resides in. The srid
must be an integer value reference to an entry in the SPATIAL_REF_SYS
table.
raster2pgsql loader uses this function to register raster tables
Valid constraint names to pass in: refer to Section 5.2.1, “Raster Columns Catalog” for more details.

Refer to ST_SameAlignment.sridensures all have same sridMore -- any listed as inputs into the above functions
![[Note]](images/note.png) | |
This function infers the constraints from the data already present in the table. As such for it to work, you must create the raster column first and then load it with data. |
| |
If you need to load more data in your tables after you have already applied constraints, you may want to run the DropRasterConstraints if the extent of your data has changed. |

Examples: Apply all possible constraints on column based on data
CREATE TABLE myrasters(rid SERIAL primary key, rast raster);
INSERT INTO myrasters(rast)
SELECT ST_AddBand(ST_MakeEmptyRaster(1000, 1000, 0.3, -0.3, 2, 2, 0, 0,4326), 1, '8BSI'::text, -129, NULL);
SELECT AddRasterConstraints('myrasters'::name, 'rast'::name);
-- verify if registered correctly in the raster_columns view --
SELECT srid, scale_x, scale_y, blocksize_x, blocksize_y, num_bands, pixel_types, nodata_values
FROM raster_columns
WHERE r_table_name = 'myrasters';
srid | scale_x | scale_y | blocksize_x | blocksize_y | num_bands | pixel_types| nodata_values
------+---------+---------+-------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+---------------
4326 | 2 | 2 | 1000 | 1000 | 1 | {8BSI} | {0}
Examples: Apply single constraint
CREATE TABLE public.myrasters2(rid SERIAL primary key, rast raster);
INSERT INTO myrasters2(rast)
SELECT ST_AddBand(ST_MakeEmptyRaster(1000, 1000, 0.3, -0.3, 2, 2, 0, 0,4326), 1, '8BSI'::text, -129, NULL);
SELECT AddRasterConstraints('public'::name, 'myrasters2'::name, 'rast'::name,'regular_blocking', 'blocksize');
