Description

If I try to import a SHP into an existing Geopackage-Database with DB-Manager the following error occurs:
"Error 11 Connection to database failed" - although the GPKG-Database is connected in DB-Manager and existing data viewable.
Screenshot attached.

This does not seem to be related to spatialite. If it's about the target provider it should be gdal/ogr, was this the intention, and if yes, do you have any hints what might be wrong?

#3 Updated by Even Rouault over 8 years ago

There are 2 issues :
- DlgImportVector.accept() calls QgsVectorLayerImport.importLayer() with providerName = 'spatialite', but the spatialite provider doesn't support GPKG. This could be tweaked to route to the ogr provider
- However QgsOgrProvider::createEmptyLayer() (and QgsOgrProvider constructor) doesn't accept database style URI (with dbname, table parameters), and doesn't accept creating a new layer into an existing datasource. I'm not sure adding this capability in feature freeze is appropriate ?

Hi

I could replicate the issue here as well although I am not sure if it is the same error others get.

See attached gif for the workflow I tried:

            AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'emit'

I think that since GeoPackage support is 'the way of the future' we should fix this if we can before the release (I would not consider it a new feature). In the DB Manager the database connection group is 'Spatialite/GeoPackage' which implies for the user that GeoPackage imports should work.

+1 It does not work in the 2.16 release now.

Is there any other way within QGIS to add a table to an existing GeoPackage?

(Is this issue really Windows-only?)

#6 Updated by Admire Nyakudya about 8 years ago

I have created a geopackage vector using ogr and when I try to add a layer in dbmanager I also encounter connection to database failed.
