This recipe will guide you through the importing of multiple rasters at a time.

You will first import some different single band rasters to a unique single band raster table using the raster2pgsql command.

Then, you will try an alternative approach, merging the original single band rasters in a virtual raster, with one band for each of the original rasters, and then load the multiband raster to a raster table. To accomplish this, you will use the GDAL gdalbuildvrt command and then load the data to PostGIS with raster2pgsql.
