Write support to MBTiles driver

Reported by: tnick Owned by: warmerdam

Description

In version 1.11.0 gdal provides a read-only driver for MBTiles thanks to the work of Even Rouault. For the application that I'm working on I need to create MBTiles files and I would like to make my work part of gdal's driver.

If there are other efforts in this direction I would love to help.

Posting your message on gdal-dev mailing list would make it viewed by more people. Bug trackers tend not to be popular ;-)

Not sure what to do with that ticket. Closing it. I'd note that with the Geopackage write support, it should be possible to generate mbtiles with a few adjustments.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
