ST_RasterUtil.describe

Definition

ST_RasterUtil.describe returns the description of raster column properties. If no arguments or only the verbose parameter is provided, the ST_RasterUtil.describe stored procedure returns a list of all raster columns within the database. Otherwise, the description of the raster column is returned if a table and column is entered.

SQL Server

SELECT <function_owner>.st_raster_util_describe 
('sde94','bobby', 'sat','image',null);

Raster Column ID ............: 125
