Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

If some functions can't handle all the pixels, this is a big limit for the use 
of tiled rasters if some function can't handle all the pixels although tiling 
and indexing raster is a major improvement (thanks to postgis).It's going to be 
tricky if we need to have both tiled and untiled version for the same raster.

Hugues.

The results are in radian so rounded to 0 or 1 when the pixel type is integer.

Not yet. The only way is to load the raster untiled or to ST_Union them which 
might be slow.
