Get dimension of the column type.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.get_spatialite_version(bind)

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.init_spatialite(dbapi_conn, *args, transaction: bool = False, init_mode: str | None = None, journal_mode: str | None = None)

Initialize internal SpatiaLite tables.

Parameters:

• dbapi_conn – The DBAPI connection.

• init_mode –

  Can be None to load all EPSG SRIDs, ‘WGS84’ to load only the ones related to WGS84 or ‘EMPTY’ to not load any EPSG SRID.

  Note

  It is possible to load other EPSG SRIDs afterwards using InsertEpsgSrid(srid).

• transaction – If set to True the whole operation will be handled as a single Transaction (faster). The default value is False (slower, but safer).

• journal_mode –

  Change the journal mode to the given value. This can make the table creation much faster. The possible values are the following: [‘DELETE’, ‘TRUNCATE’, ‘PERSIST’, ‘MEMORY’, ‘WAL’, ‘OFF’]. See https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode for more details.

  Warning

  Some values, like ‘MEMORY’ or ‘OFF’, can lead to corrupted databases if the process is interrupted during initialization.

  Note

  The original value is restored after the initialization.

Note

When using this function as a listener it is not possible to pass the transaction, init_mode or journal_mode arguments directly. To do this you can either create another function that calls init_spatialite (or geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.load_spatialite() if you also want to load the SpatiaLite drivers) with an hard-coded init_mode or just use a lambda:

>>> sqlalchemy.event.listen(
...     engine,
...     "connect",
...     lambda x, y: init_spatialite(
...         x,
...         y,
...         transaction=True,
...         init_mode="EMPTY",
...         journal_mode="OFF",
...     )
... )

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.load_spatialite(*args, **kwargs)

Load SpatiaLite extension in SQLite DB and initialize internal tables.

See geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.load_spatialite_driver() and geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.init_spatialite() functions for details about arguments.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.load_spatialite_driver(dbapi_conn, *args)

Load SpatiaLite extension in SQLite connection.

Warning

The path to the SpatiaLite module should be set in the SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Parameters:

dbapi_conn – The DBAPI connection.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.reflect_geometry_column(inspector, table, column_info)

Reflect a column of type Geometry with SQLite dialect.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.sqlite.register_sqlite_mapping(mapping)

    "function_name_1": "sqlite_function_name_1",
    "function_name_2": "sqlite_function_name_2",
    ...
}

supports_statement_cache = True

Enable caching for GeoPackage dialect.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage._setup_dummy_type(table, gis_cols)

Setup dummy type for new Geometry columns so they can be updated later.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.after_create(table, bind, **kw)

Handle spatial indexes during the after_create event.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.after_drop(table, bind, **kw)

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.create_spatial_index(bind, table, col)

Create spatial index on the given column.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.create_spatial_ref_sys_view(bind)

Create the spatial_ref_sys view from the gpkg_spatial_ref_sys table.

Note

This is usually only needed to use the ST_Transform function on GeoPackage data because this function, when used with SpatiaLite, requires the spatial_ref_sys table.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.disable_spatial_index(bind, table, col)

Disable spatial indexes if present.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.init_geopackage(dbapi_conn, *args)

Initialize GeoPackage tables.

Parameters:

dbapi_conn – The DBAPI connection.

Warning

No EPSG SRID is loaded in the gpkg_spatial_ref_sys table after initialization but it is possible to load other EPSG SRIDs afterwards using the gpkgInsertEpsgSRID(srid). Nevertheless, SRIDs of newly created tables are automatically added.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.load_geopackage_driver(dbapi_conn, *args)

Load SpatiaLite extension in GeoPackage connection and set VirtualGpkg and Amphibious modes.

Warning

The path to the SpatiaLite module should be set in the SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Parameters:

dbapi_conn – The DBAPI connection.

geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.load_spatialite_gpkg(*args, **kwargs)

Load SpatiaLite extension in GeoPackage and initialize internal tables.

See geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.load_geopackage_driver() and geoalchemy2.admin.dialects.geopackage.init_geopackage() functions for details about arguments.

Register compilation mappings for the given functions.

Parameters:

mapping –

Should have the following form:

{
    "function_name_1": "gpkg_function_name_1",
    "function_name_2": "gpkg_function_name_2",
