I have a GeoPackage with multiple tables, and I am trying to load it with GeoPandas:
import geopandas as gpd
filename = '~/example.gpkg'
gdf = gpd.read_file(filename)'
This returns the first table/layer in the gpkg. Is there any way to access the other layer, i.e. something like:
filename = '~/example.gpkg|second_table'
I'm guessing I might need to use fiona directly, but couldn't figure it out from the docs.
Use the layer='...' parameter:
gdf = gpd.read_file(r'C:\folder\geopackage.gpkg', layer='somelayername')
See gpd.read_file's **kwargs parameter:
Keyword args to be passed to the engine, and can be used to write to multi-layer data, store data within archives (zip files), etc. In case of the “pyogrio” engine, the keyword arguments are passed to pyogrio.read_dataframe:
layer int or str, optional (default: first layer)
...If a string is provided, it must match the name of the layer in the data source. Defaults to first layer in data source...
