C# Script for Migrating .gpkg (SQLite) to SQL Server Tables

Project Overview

The client required a C# application that can seamlessly transfer data from GeoPackage (.gpkg) files, which are essentially SQLite databases for geospatial data, to Microsoft SQL Server tables. The challenge was to ensure that any and every kind of .gpkg file can be processed, including various geospatial data types and configurations.

Project Details

Objective

To develop a robust and versatile C# script capable of migrating data from .gpkg files to SQL Server.

Key Features

• Versatility: Designed to handle any .gpkg file, regardless of the complexity of the geospatial data it holds.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive user interface to choose the .gpkg file and the destination SQL Server database.
• Data Integrity: Ensures that data is transferred without any loss or corruption.
• Geospatial Data Handling: Built-in mechanisms to recognize and handle geospatial data types during the migration process.
• Logging & Reporting: Integrated logging feature to track the migration process and any potential errors or discrepancies.
• Performance Optimization: Efficient data processing to ensure swift migration, even with larger .gpkg files.

Technologies Used

• Programming Language: C#
• Databases: SQLite (GeoPackage format) and Microsoft SQL Server

My Review

This was our inaugural collaboration, which entailed transforming geospatial data from the .gpkg format to Microsoft SQL Server tables. I found the task intellectually invigorating and was particularly pleased with the app's efficient and robust performance. Collaborating with Marc was a pleasure. His clear communication and feedback were instrumental in shaping the project's successful outcome. The synergy and mutual respect established during this project laid the foundation for future collaborations. Eagerly awaiting our upcoming endeavors!
