GeoPackage¶

GeoPackage is an SQLite based standard format that is able to hold multiple vector and raster data layers in a single file.

GeoPackage files can be used both as Raster Data Stores as well as Vector Data Stores (so that both kinds of layers can published).

Adding a GeoPackage Vector Data Store¶

When the extension has been installed, GeoPackage will be an option in the Vector Data Sources list when creating a new data store.
