FLO-2D GeoPackage Management

FLO-2D GeoPackage Management#

The FLO-2D GeoPackage Management tool allows users to delete layers added to the GeoPackage. Whether a layer is too heavy or was added mistakenly, this tool facilitates efficient maintenance of a well-structured GeoPackage.

Note

The layers that can be deleted are layers that were added by the user. The layers required by FLO-2D are not allowed to be deleted and, therefore, are not shown on the FLO-2D GeoPackage Management window.

GeoPackage Structure#

Warning

Do not delete layers that are part of the native GeoPackage structure. This will break the project. Perform a backup prior to modifying a geopackage with sqlite tools. Sqlite is a powerful and easy way to perform database modification. Just be careful.

  1. View a GeoPackage Structure using the QGIS Browser panel.
