Sets the MD5 hash string in the metadata of a raster object.
Syntax
text ST_SetMD5Sum(raster raster_obj, text md5sum)Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
raster_obj | The name of the raster object. |
md5sum | The MD5 hash string to assign to the raster object. Must be 32 characters and contain only digits and lowercase letters. |
Description
ST_SetMD5Sum writes an MD5 hash string to the metadata of a raster object. The hash string must be exactly 32 characters and can contain only digits and lowercase letters.
To automatically calculate and store an MD5 hash string when a raster object is saved, set the ganos.raster.calculate_md5 database parameter:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ganos.raster.calculate_md5 | boolean | Specifies whether to calculate the MD5 hash string and saves it to the metadata when the raster object is stored. Valid values: true, false. Default value: false. |
Example:
SET ganos.raster.calculate_md5 = true;Examples
The following example sets the MD5 hash string for the raster object with id = 1, then retrieves it using ST_MD5SUM to confirm the value.
SELECT ST_MD5SUM(ST_SetMD5Sum(rast, '21f41fd983d3139c75b04bff2b7bf5c9'))
FROM raster_table
WHERE id = 1;Expected output:
st_md5sum
