[Qgis-user] Conversion of shapefile to GPKG

[Patrick Dunford]

Good day all

I have been converting shapefiles to geopackage in a number of Qgis map 
projects I have.

There have been a number of issues encountered. One of these is when 
there is an existing FID field in the data table that does not conform 
to the integrity rules required for the reserved fid field in the 
geopackage data table. The inbuilt conversion is assuming the existing 
FID field will meet data integrity requirements and creates problems if 
it does not.

Is or should this type of issue be covered adequately in documentation.
