[GRASS-user] GeoPackage and multiple tables

Hello,

I'm trying to export a vector to GeoPackage. The vector has 3 layers and each layer has an associated table. When I view the data (pre-export) in GRASS it looks good, but when I export and open in QGIS I only see the layer1 table. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug/limit in the GeoPackage exporter? Here is an MWE using the nc_spm_08_grass7 data set. I'm using grass 7.4.0. I note v.out.ogr does warn

> # WARNING: The combination of types is not supported by all formats.

But I think this is always printed and that GeoPackage can support a combination of types.

  -k.


grass ./nc_spm_08_grass7/PERMANENT

g.mapset -c gpgk
g.copy vector=poi_names_wake at PERMANENT,points
g.copy vector=lakes at PERMANENT,areas

v.db.addtable map=pal table="tbl_points" layer=1
v.db.addtable map=pal table="tbl_areas" layer=2
v.db.addtable map=pal table="tbl_lines" layer=3

v.db.connect -p map=pal
