Overview

SpatiaLite is a spatial extension to SQLite which provides support for the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Simple Feature Specification. SpatiaLite also provides more advanced functionality to SQLite databases such as spatial indexes and multiple coordinate systems.

In FME a SpatiaLite table is a feature type, a row is a feature, and a column is an attribute.

SpatiaLite is a relational database system that supports SQL and which stores the entire database in a single file.
