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