I use FME 2015.1.1 to create a GeoPackage.
I write the data with dynamic settings and the result seems OK, if I use a SQLite tool to inspect the *.gpkg file.
Now when I want to open it in ArcGIS 10.2.2 I first need to run a special ESRI extension function from SQLite3 command line in order to be able to acces it from ArcMap. OK so far, but a bit of unwanted fiddling i.m.h.o.
Then I can view the vector data in ArcMap fairly well. Good so far.
Now problems start when I want to view tables without geometry. I cannot do that from ArcMap and when I use ArcCatalog it behaves as if tables are empty. I can see the contents of these tables in SQLite tools however.
Has anyone out there tried similar things or collected some experience with GeoPackage format ?
Will this improve in ArcGIS 10.3 ?
Can I change something in FME writing in order to enable alphanumeric tables ?
My impression is, that despite official claims by ESRI the support for GeoPackage is a bit limited so far ?
Thanks for any feedback
Michael
