Introduction

This page includes tips and tricks for working with the GeoPackage format (supported since the TUFLOW 2023-03-AA Release). GeoPackage is a widely supported, open GIS database format, built upon an SQLite database (data is stored as a single file with the extension .gpkg). This database format has several benefits, including:

  • Multiple GIS layer can be stored in the single file database. For example, all GIS input layers can be stored in a single GeoPackage file.
  • Supports spatial indexing, greatly reducing loading and viewing times making it much faster to work with in GIS packages.
  • Faster to write from TUFLOW than the shapefile format.

For more information see the 2023 Release Notes.
