Removing a color map from an ST_Raster value

Use the deleteColormap ST_Raster function to remove a color map from an ST_Raster value. Doing so renders the ST_Raster value in grayscale.

Steps:
  1. Use an UPDATE SQL statement with the deleteColormap function to remove the color map from raster values in those rows in the vegetation table that have a type value equal to deciduous.

    Oracle

    UPDATE VEGETATION t
    SET RASTER = t.raster.deleteColormap()
    WHERE TYPE = 'DECIDUOUS';

    PostgreSQL

    UPDATE vegetation
    SET raster = deleteColormap(raster)
    WHERE type = 'deciduous';

    SQL Server

    UPDATE vegetation
    SET raster = deleteColormap()
    WHERE type = 'deciduous';

    After the deleteColormap successfully completes, the raster value renders as grayscale rather than a color-mapped value.
