This page includes tips and tricks for working with the GeoPackageGPKG Vector format (supported since the TUFLOW 2023-03-AA Release). GeoPackageGPKG is a widely supported, open GIS database format, built upon an SQLite database (data is stored as a single file with the extension .gpkg). <br><br>
This database format has several benefits, including:
*Multiple GIS layers can be stored in the single file database. For example, all GIS input layers can be stored in a single GeoPackageGPKG file.
*Supports spatial indexing, greatly reducing loading and viewing times, making it much faster to work within GIS packages.
*Faster to write from TUFLOW than the shapefile format.
