Exporting tables out of SpatiaLite as a shapefile
To export a table as a shapefile, perform the following steps:
- Open DB Manager by clicking on DB Manager under Database. Expand SpatiaLite and select the database from which you wish to export a table in the Tree panel.
- In the Tree panel, select the table that you wish to export.
- Navigate to Table | Export to file to open the Export vector file dialog.
- Click on the ellipsis button at the right-hand side of the Output file text box and name the output file. Note that you can only export to the shapefile format using this tool.
- Set the Source SRID, Target SRID, and Encoding options or leave them unselected to use the default values. Select Drop existing one if you wish to overwrite an existing shapefile.
