Description

In DB manager it seems that it is not possible to make any complex or even simple geometric or spatial operation with layers stored in geopackage. In attach a very simple geopackage with a single layer.

Trying to run the query:

SELECT ST_AREA(geom) AS area, geom FROM province

the area column in output contains only NULL values, while the geom column, even if it is possible to load the layer as a new layer, contains values like: `b'GP\x00\x03.........`.

In the layer table the geom column is correctly read with, e.g. MULTIPOLYGON... type

The exact same query works on the same layer loaded in QGIS but using Virtual Layers. Output area column is correctly calculated and geometry is correctly displayed as MULTIPOLIGON type.

In attach the used geopackage with the layer

Confirmed on 3.3

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

Does it works on 2.18?

This type of operation also works if the dataset is Spatialite.

yes and no :) the query still gives NULL values in the geom column, but the layer can be correctly loaded in QGIS (see attached screenshot).

Moreover, same gpkg and same layer, with QGIS 3.3 I'm having a python stacktrace:

RecursionError
maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Now when trying to run query against a GPKG in DB Manager the results do not even show, instead a very reassuring

is shown. Not good for what should be a first class citizen in QGIS.
