PostGIS Raster Writer Parameters

This specifies the machine running the PostGIS/PostgreSQL ORDBMS as either an IP address or host name. The database must have proper permissions and be set up to accept TCP/IP connections if connecting from a remote machine.

When connecting remotely, this specifies the TCP/IP port on which to connect to the ORDBMS service. The default port is 5432.

This specifies the name of the PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database. The database must exist in the ORDBMS.

Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.

Specifies the name of the column to be created that will hold the raster data when creating a new PostGIS table.

If set to Yes, changes the case of attribute names to lowercase.

If No, the writer inserts data into the database using SQL INSERT statements. If Yes, the writer inserts data using the SQL COPY command, which yields better performance.

The number at which the writer will start writing features into the database. The writer skips the number of features in this parameter, and then it begins writing the features that follow.

Usually, the value specified is 0 (this is the default) – a non-zero value is usually only specified when a data load operation is being resumed after failing partway through.

The number of features that FME places in each transaction before a transaction is committed to the database.

This parameter allows for the execution of SQL statements before opening a table for writing. For example, it may be necessary to drop a constraint before attempting to write to it. The statements will be executed only when the first feature arrives at the writer.

Multiple SQL commands can be delimited by a character specified using the FME_SQL_DELIMITER directive, embedded at the beginning of the SQL block. The single character following this directive will be used to split the SQL block into SQL statements, which will then be sent to the database for execution. Note: Include a space before the character.

For example:

FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;
DELETE FROM instructors;
DELETE FROM people
WHERE LastName='Doe' AND FirstName='John'

Multiple delimiters are not allowed and the delimiter character will be stripped before being sent to the database.

Any errors occurring during the execution of these SQL statements will normally terminate the reader or writer (depending on where the SQL statement is executed) with an error. If the specified statement is preceded by a hyphen (“-”), such errors are ignored.

This parameter allows for the execution of SQL statements after a set of tables has been written. For example, it may be necessary to clean up a temporary view after creating it.
