Name

= — Returns TRUE if A's bounding box is the same as B's. Uses double precision bounding box.

Synopsis

boolean =( raster A , raster B );

Description

The = operator returns TRUE if the bounding box of raster A is the same as the bounding box of raster B. PostgreSQL uses the =, <, and > operators defined for rasters to perform internal orderings and comparison of rasters (ie. in a GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause).

[Caution]

This operand will NOT make use of any indexes that may be available on the rasters. Use ~= instead. This operator exists mostly so one can group by the raster column.
