[gdal-dev] ogrinfo vs gdal vector info equivalent command

[Even Rouault]

Scott,

you don't want info, you want to run a sql command. So gdal vector sql 
!  And as you perform modifications, you need to provide explicit --update

gdal vector sql --update --sql "create index mytable_col_idx on 
mytable(col)" source.gpkg
