[Qgis-user] Model Designer - GDAL - Vector Conversion

[Johanna Botman]

Thank you for the follow up, Nicolas,

I’ll spend a little more time on learning to insert that ID column. I tried the Convert to Geopackage and then to TAB files, but that was not satisfactory. The ID column was still missing

Hi,
To my knowledge, the tab file does not need a FID column to work.  I may be wrong but a geopackage must have a FID column.  I am sure you could create that field afterwards in the model or create a geopackage and then a tab file.

Hi Brent,
I think that is the way that I have to go. I was hoping that it would be a good use of the Modeller

Have you considered a script or batch file using ogr2ogr to do this for you?

I am trying to use the Model Designer to automate the creation of Tab files from SQL Database Tables.

I am using GDAL – Vector Conversion – Convert format

The resulting Tab file is missing the Primary Key field.

If use that same algorithm to export to a Geopackage, the PK is there.

I know that I can right click the SQL Table and select Export. That Tab file contains the PK. I need to export 30 tables so am looking for some automation.



Why does the algorithm produce a table without the key field?
