Postgis Raster
===============

.. note:: GeoServer does not come built-in with support for Postgis raster columns, it must be installed through an extension. Proceed to :doc:`Image Mosaic JDBC<imagemosaicjdbc>` for installation details. This extension includes the support for Postgis raster.


Adding an Postgis raster data store
-----------------------------------

Read the geotools documentation for Postgis raster Support: `<http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/coverage/pgraster.html>`_.
After creating the xml config file proceed to the section `Configuring GeoServer` in the  :doc:`Image Mosaic JDBC Tutorial</tutorials/imagemosaic-jdbc/imagemosaic-jdbc_tutorial>`
