Hi there. I'm testing an upgraded database and seeing different results in a query that's using the ST_Clip function.
old database: PostgreSQL 9.1.14 with PostGIS 2.0.1 new database: PostgreSQL: 9.6.1 with PostGIS 2.3.1 I know ST_Clip was rewritten in C in PostGIS 2.1. Could this be responsible for different results? Or did the clipping algorithm change? I consulted the docs, but didn't see anything noted to this effect. Query: SELECT (pvc).value, SUM((pvc).count) AS total FROM ( SELECT ST_ValueCount(st_clip(rast, c.the_geom),1) AS pvc FROM nlcdcal20_2011, counties c WHERE st_intersects(rast, c.the_geom) and c.NAME = 'Alameda' ) AS foo GROUP BY (pvc).value order by (pvc).value If I remove the clip, the results are identical. In terms of the actual difference, here's the sum total of all pixels found by this query: Total pixels in 2.0.1 = 2,362,444 Total pixels in 2.3.1 = 2,418,017 It's not a huge difference, but enough to be curious about. We can live with it, but it would just be nice to know the cause. Thank you for any insight you can provide. Shira p.s. The faster performance of the new ST_Clip is awesome!
