Seek-Optimized Zip profile to the ZIP file format

[Ujaval Gandhi @spatialthoughts]

The SOZip (Seek Optimized Zip) format support in GDAL looks very promising. Learn more at https://t.co/H6ZxDH6oao and the slide deck below.

We were born a few months ago. This is like our baptism!

[gdal org @GdalOrg]

#GDAL 3.7.0 is released: https://t.co/pf2krSc7Ma . It includes JSON output for ogrinfo, TileDB vector support, reading of FileGeodatabase raster datasets, @sozip (Seek optimized ZIP) read/write support and many other enhancements and fixes.

[sozip @sozipOrg]

@GdalOrg I assume you're talking about me, right ?

[gdal org @GdalOrg]

A GDAL 3.7.0 release candidate is now available for your testing: https://t.co/3VghBsR2A0. Lots of exciting new stuff !

[gdal org @GdalOrg]

All that made possible by us. And practicality of working directly from #shizzle will increase again when @sozipOrg reaches your GDAL build

[sozip @sozipOrg]

@tomkralidis @EvenRouault +1. Obviously I'm here to solve all issues related to file formats

[sozip @sozipOrg]

Try me now on @condaforge with @qgis !
conda create --name sozip_test
conda activate sozip_test
conda install -c gdal-master gdal
conda install -c conda-forge qgis
And with a @GeoPackage1 file:
sozip -j https://t.co/HNKduZK9Bl /path/to/in.gpkg
qgis https://t.co/HNKduZK9Bl

Only true when compressed by yours truly

shapefile is the best geospatial file format of 2023. I defend my dissertation.

I share a lot of similarities with this Parallel PNG proposal: https://t.co/z2ByY3AEEj.
I knew I could not possibly be alone in this universe.

And for large Geodatabase tables, I'd highly suggest using me to improve performance.

This is what happens when you have a discussison about OGC standards with ChatGPT and then asks something else:

@nheazlewood @Esri Some even say that a SOZip-compressed File Geodatabase is totally workable. Especially if you open it with @GdalOrg and its reverse engineered FileGeodatabase driver powered with VSI. #FOSS4G for the win!

[sozip @sozipOrg]

@nheazlewood .shp, .dbf and .shx will be soon things that the end-user will no longer have to see. Welcome to the era where SOZip-enabled .shz and .shp.zip containers will be mainstream. @Esri hint hint ;-)

[sozip @sozipOrg]

Certains disent de moi que je suis le ZIP optimisé pour le Nuage. Il y a du vrai là dedans, à condition que ce qu'on me fait compresser est aussi compatible nuage. A bon entendeur...

[sozip @sozipOrg]

@PreciselyData Did you know that SOZip makes compressed .tab/.dat files in ZIP workable ? Was just saying...

[sozip @sozipOrg]

I'm happy to inform you of the first production use of SOZip! I've just sent my quaterly accounting documents to my accountant as a SOZip. Let's hope she doesn't notice anything... Fingers crossed!

[sozip @sozipOrg]

Thanks for giving a try at us! Small technical correction: the "sozip" utility is/will be part of the GDAL command line utilities suite, and is thus a native C++ tool. The python "sozipfile" module is an independant implementations that can also be used to create SOZip files.

Seek-Optimized ZIP file (SOZip) - makes it possible to access large compressed files directly from a .zip file without prior decompression. https://t.co/LzUnTebKOV
