geofileops.create_spatial_index

geofileops.create_spatial_index(path: Union[str, PathLike[Any]], layer: Optional[str] = None, cache_size_mb: Optional[int] = 128, exist_ok: bool = False, force_rebuild: bool = False, no_geom_ok: bool = False)

Create a spatial index on the layer specified.

Parameters:

• path (PathLike) – The file path.

• layer (str, optional) – The layer. If not specified, and there is only one layer in the file, this layer is used. Otherwise exception.

• cache_size_mb (int, optional) – cache memory in MB that can be used while creating spatial index for spatialite files (.gpkg or .sqlite). If None, the default cache_size from sqlite is used. Defaults to 128.

• exist_ok (bool, optional) – If True and the index exists already, don’t throw an error. Defaults to False.

• force_rebuild (bool, options) – True to force rebuild even if index exists already. Defaults to False.

• no_geom_ok (bool, options) – If True and the file doesn’t have a geometry column, don’t throw an error. Defaults to False.
