## Name

ST_AsHexWKB — Return the Well-Known Binary (WKB) in Hex representation of the raster.

## Synopsis

`bytea ST_AsHexWKB(`raster rast, boolean outasin=FALSE`)`;

## Description

Returns the Binary representation in Hex representation of the raster. If `outasin` is TRUE, out-db bands are treated as in-db. Refer to raster/doc/RFC2-WellKnownBinaryFormat located in the PostGIS source folder for details of the representation.

By default, Hex WKB output contains the external file path for out-db bands. If the client does not have access to the raster file underlying an out-db band, set `outasin` to TRUE.

Availability: 2.5.0

## Examples

    SELECT ST_AsHexWKB(rast) As rastbin FROM dummy_rast WHERE rid=1;
