Copying, Diffing, and Patching MBTiles

mbtiles copy

Copy command copies an mbtiles file, optionally filtering its content by zoom levels.

mbtiles copy src_file.mbtiles dst_file.mbtiles \
        --min-zoom 0 --max-zoom 10

This command can also be used to generate files of different supported schema.

mbtiles copy normalized.mbtiles dst.mbtiles \
         --dst-type flat-with-hash

mbtiles copy --diff-with-file

This option is identical to using mbtiles diff .... The following commands two are equivalent:

mbtiles diff file1.mbtiles file2.mbtiles diff.mbtiles

mbtiles copy file1.mbtiles diff.mbtiles \
        --diff-with-file file2.mbtiles

mbtiles copy --apply-patch

Copy a source file to destination while also applying the diff file generated by copy --diff-with-file command above to the destination mbtiles file. This allows safer application of the diff file, as the source file is not modified.

mbtiles copy src_file.mbtiles dst_file.mbtiles \
        --apply-patch diff.mbtiles
