gpkg_create_dummy_features: Create a Dummy Feature Dataset in a GeoPackage

In gpkg: Utilities for the Open Geospatial Consortium 'GeoPackage' Format

Create a Dummy Feature Dataset in a GeoPackage

Description

This function has been deprecated. Please use gpkg_create_empty_features().

Usage

gpkg_create_dummy_features(x, table_name = "dummy_feature", values = NULL)

Arguments

x	A geopackage object
table_name	A table name; default "dummy_feature"
values	Values to use for new table. Defaults to default geometry name ("geom"), with generic GEOMETRY data type, with no spatial reference system.

Details

Create a minimal (empty) feature table and gpkg_geometry_columns table entry.

This is a workaround so that gpkg_vect() (via terra::vect()) will recognize a GeoPackage as containing geometries and allow for use of OGR query utilities. The "dummy table" is not added to gpkg_contents and you should not try to use it for anything. The main purpose is to be able to use gpkg_vect() and gpkg_ogr_query() on a GeoPackage that contains only gridded and/or attribute data.

Value

logical. TRUE on success.
