Database requirements/limitations

The following database requirements and limitations apply:

  • GeoPackage files must have a .gpkg extension to be recognized by ArcGIS.
  • You cannot create a geodatabase in an existing SQLite database. However, you can create a mobile geodatabase, which will create both the geodatabase and the SQLite database in which it is stored.
