Robert, I had a similar problem, read below Quoting Robert Buckley <robertdbuck...@yahoo.com>:

Convert to geoTIFFs My photos had three different coordinate systems, GK28,GK31 undGK34 and I had to transform them to Austria Lambert. I hope your photos have a common CS. 1) use gdal_merge to produce a big image (I produced an Erdas Image ) 2) use gdal_transform to transform to wgs84 3) Decide file based/ jdbc based 4) I did it jdbc based and used gdal_retile for tiling/pyramid building > and now i´m a bit lost! what are my choices to take this further? > 1.

Not a good idea, one store should be fine :-) > > Any help would be great. > > Thanks, > > Robert If you decide for jdbc based, I need more details about your environment.
