ST_BandIsNoData

## Name

ST_BandIsNoData — Returns true if the band is filled with only nodata values.

## Synopsis

`boolean ST_BandIsNoData(`raster rast, integer band, boolean forceChecking=true`)`;

`boolean ST_BandIsNoData(`raster rast, boolean forceChecking=true`)`;

## Description

Returns true if the band is filled with only nodata values. Band 1 is assumed if not specified. If the last argument is TRUE, the entire band is checked pixel by pixel. Otherwise, the function simply returns the value of the isnodata flag for the band. The default value for this parameter is FALSE, if not specified.

Availability: 2.0.0

If the flag is dirty (this is, the result is different using TRUE as last parameter and not using it) you should update the raster to set this flag to true, by using ST_SetBandIsNodata(), or ST_SetBandNodataValue() with TRUE as last argument. See ST_SetBandIsNoData.

## Examples

    -- Create dummy table with one raster column
    create table dummy_rast (rid integer, rast raster);

    -- Add raster with two bands, one pixel/band. In the first band, nodatavalue = pixel value = 3.
    -- In the second band, nodatavalue = 13, pixel value = 4
    insert into dummy_rast values(1,
