TileDB - TileDB raster
Driver short name
TileDB
Added in version 3.0.
Build dependencies
TileDB (>= 2.7 starting with GDAL 3.7)
GDAL can read and write TileDB arrays through the TileDB library.
The driver relies on the Open Source TileDB library (MIT licensed).
Driver capabilities
Supports CreateCopy()
This driver supports the GDALDriver::CreateCopy()
operation
Supports Create()
This driver supports the GDALDriver::Create()
operation
Supports Georeferencing
This driver supports georeferencing
Supports VirtualIO
This driver supports virtual I/O operations (/vsimem/, etc.)
Creation options
Various creation and open options exists, among them :
TILEDB_CONFIG=<filename>: A local file with TileDB configuration options
Multidimensional API support
Added in version 3.8.
The TileDB driver supports the Multidimensional Raster Data Model for reading and writing operations. It requires GDAL to be built and run against TileDB >= 2.15.
The driver supports: - creating and reading groups and subgroups - creating and reading multidimensional dense arrays with a numeric data type - creating and reading numeric or string attributes in groups and arrays - storing an indexing array of a dimension as a TileDB dimension label
The multidimensional API supports reading dense arrays created by the classic raster API of GDAL.
The following multidimensional dataset open options are available:
TILEDB_CONFIG=config: A local file with TileDB configuration options
TILEDB_TIMESTAMP=val: inclusive ending timestamp when opening this array
The following multidimensional dataset creation options are available:
TILEDB_CONFIG=config: A local file with TileDB configuration options
TILEDB_TIMESTAMP=val: inclusive ending timestamp when opening this array
The following array open options are available:
TILEDB_TIMESTAMP=val: inclusive ending timestamp when opening this array
The following array creation options are available:
BLOCKSIZE=val1,val2,...,valN: Block size in pixels
COMPRESSION=NONE/GZIP/ZSTD/LZ4/RLE/BZIP2/DOUBLE-DELTA/POSITIVE-DELTA: Compression to use. Default is NONE
COMPRESSION_LEVEL=int_value: compression level
IN_MEMORY=YES/NO: hether the array should be only in-memory. Useful to create an indexing variable that is serialized as a dimension label
TILEDB_TIMESTAMP=val: inclusive ending timestamp when opening this array
Cf tiledb_multidim.py for examples of how to use the Python multidimensional API with the TileDB driver.
