Where is libst_raster_pg.dll for PostgreSQL 9.2?

[DuarteCarreira]

I am upgrading my 10.0 geodatabase to 10.2. All my rasters are failing because I am using st_raster storage type.

I followed instructions [1] to install libst_raster_pg.dll but keep getting version mismatch errors. Apparently I can only find this dll for PostgreSQL 9.0! Even on a 10.2.2 installation there's only 1 dll and that's for pgsql 9.0...

It is stated very clearly [2] that pgsql 9.2 is supported at arcgis 10.2.x. There are not restrictions nor limitations pointed out.

Thanks.

I stopped using rasters in databases when customers stopped asking for them; it's probably been close to ten years now.

Image services are a step beyond mosaic datasets, but yes, when published as an image service, mosaic datasets require additional licensing.

It wasn't clear in your "answer" post, but it now seems you're recommending using RASTER_STORAGE "BINARY" (vice "ST_RASTER"), not abandoning rasters entirely.  That is certainly an option.

Yes, I was considering the option to use binary storage, which in PostgreSQL means using bytea attribute type. I wasn't recommending, just stating our reasoning.

As for customers stopping asking for them, I wouldn't know about that.

When mosaic datasets came out I was interested but could not implement them because of the added cost. Nevertheless, I am not sure anymore if they can or cannot be published in "normal" map services. I couldn't be sure from your answer.
