<para>To get a summary about your raster via gdal use gdalinfo:

<para>To export data to other raster formats,
use gdal_translate the below will export all data from a table to a PNG file at 10% size.</para>
<para>Depending on your pixel band types, some translations may not work if the export format does not support that Pixel type.

+ <answer>
+ <para>Yes. Check out the page <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries">GDAL Binaries</ulink> page. Any compiled wiht PostgreSQL
