About:
SpatialiteTools provides a suite of command-line utilities for managing and manipulating SpatiaLite databases. It includes tools like `spatialite` for interactive SQL queries and `shp2spatialite` for importing shapefiles. This package is essential for performing ETL operations and server-side geospatial data processing.
Key Features:
  • Interactive SQL shell for SpatiaLite databases
  • Shapefile to SpatiaLite import utility
  • Support for standard spatial functions and queries
  • Command-line interface for automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Importing vector data (Shapefiles) into SpatiaLite databases
  • Running complex spatial queries on local databases
  • Automating geospatial data processing workflows
Alternatives:
  • gdal – GDAL provides broader format support but SpatialiteTools is specialized for SpatiaLite operations.
  • qgis – QGIS is a GUI-based desktop GIS, whereas SpatialiteTools offers a lightweight CLI approach.
