💅 spatialite_xml_collapse(1) 💅

okay so bestie, you know that manual page thing? yeah, this is the one for spatialite_xml_collapse(1). and honestly? she's a closer. she tidies up the mess. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

spatialite_xml_collapse — simplifies any DB-file that was made by spatialite_xml_load(1). that's it, that's the job. she takes the chaotic file and makes it cute. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

spatialite_xml_collapse [-h] [-d pathname] [-dd] [-nl num] [-jo] [-cs num] [-m]

look at her. all those little flags. she's giving very much "I know what I'm doing" energy. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so spatialite_xml_collapse is here to simplify — like, by collapsing any ramification that isn't strictly required — any DB-file that was created by spatialite_xml_load(1). basically if your DB-file has branches and nooks and crannies that nobody actually needs? she folds them away. slay. ✨

⚠️ major heads up bestie: collapsing a DB-file is a final irreversible operation. once it's done, it's done. there is no undo. no take-backs. no "wait actually". protect your backup like it's your last iced coffee. 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — shows the help message. the classic. the icon. she will explain herself. 🎀
  • -d pathname, --db-path pathname — the path to your SpatiaLite DB. point her at the file, bestie. 📁
  • -dd, --delete-duplicates — removes all the duplicate rows... except one. so one survivor per duplicate group. main character energy only. ✨
  • -nl num, --nl-level num — the tree-level for table-names. default is 0. ⭐
  • -jo, --journal-off — unsafe [but faster] mode. yeah she said it. unsafe. but faster. your call, gorgeous. 💀
  • -cs num, --cache-size num — the DB cache size, which is measured in how many pages. 🍓
  • -m, --in-memory — uses an IN-MEMORY database. everything lives in RAM. no cap. 🧚

🌈 that's the whole vibe 🌈

and that's the page, bestie. she's short, she's sweet, she collapses things irreversibly, and she's literally built for spatialite_xml_load(1) output. iykyk. 💜

sign-off time 🫶 this manual page is dated 9 February 2026 and it's part of the spatialite_xml_collapse(1) manual — so yeah, that's the one you're reading, the whole thing came from there, go forth and collapse responsibly. mwah. 💋🌸
