• Convert a CSV file into a GeoPackage, specifying the names of the coordinate columns and assigning a coordinate reference system:

ogr2ogr -f GPKG {{output}}.gpkg {{input}}.csv -oo X_POSSIBLE_NAMES={{longitude}} -oo Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES={{latitude}} -a_srs {{EPSG:4326}}

• Load a GeoPackage into a PostGIS database:

ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:dbname="{{database_name}}" {{input}}.gpkg

ogr2ogr -spat {{min_x}} {{min_y}} {{max_x}} {{max_y}} -f GPKG {{output}}.gpkg {{input}}.gpkg
