+Introduction
+------------
+
+Welcome to the GDAL Users Cookbook. This guide provides practical examples for working with raster and vector data using the GDAL command-line tools.
+It demonstrates common tasks such as raster analysis, vector geometry operations, and combining raster and vector workflows.
+Examples includes code snippets in both Bash and PowerShell, or links to relevant examples elsewhere in the GDAL documentation.
+
+General
+-------
+
+Get the GDAL version
+++++++++++++++++++++
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash
+
+        ogr2ogr --version
+        gdalinfo --version
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash gdal CLI
+
+        gdal --version
+
+Raster
+------
+
+Resize a Raster
++++++++++++++++
+
+See :ref:`gdal_raster_resize_example_resize`.
+
+Vector
+------
+
+Get the geometry field name for a dataset
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+After running the commands below look for ``Geometry Column = `` in the output.
+For example, if you see ``Geometry Column = geom``, then the geometry field name is ``geom``.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash
+
+        # list layers
+        ogrinfo -so edges.gpkg
+        # list details for a specific layer
+        ogrinfo -so edges.gpkg Edges
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash gdal CLI
+
+        gdal vector info edges.gpkg
+
+Buffer geometries
++++++++++++++++++
+
+You can use the :ref:`gdal_vector_buffer` command; see :ref:`gdal_vector_buffer_examples` for usage examples.
+Alternatively, the SQLite dialect can be used, as shown below.
+
+Buffer geometries using an attribute
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+This example uses a ``lines.gpkg`` dataset containing a single layer named ``lines``,
+with a geometry field named ``geom`` and an integer attribute named ``width``. The value
+of this attribute is used as the buffer distance for each feature.
+
+.. note::
+
+    When creating derived geometries using SQL, avoid using ``SELECT *``.
+    Including the original geometry field will result in multiple geometry
+    columns in the output. Instead, explicitly list the required attributes
+    and return a single geometry column.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash
+
+        ogr2ogr buffered-lines.gpkg lines.gpkg \
+            -dialect SQLITE \
+            -sql "SELECT fid, ST_Buffer(geom, width) AS geom FROM lines" \
+            -overwrite \
+            -nlt POLYGON -nln BufferedLines
+
+   .. code-tab:: bash gdal CLI
+
+        gdal vector pipeline \
+            ! read lines.gpkg \
+            ! sql "SELECT fid, ST_Buffer(geom, width) AS geom FROM lines" \
+            ! set-geom-type --geometry-type Polygon \
+            ! write buffered-lines.gpkg --output-layer=BufferedLines --overwrite --overwrite-layer
+
+Combined Raster and Vector Workflows
+------------------------------------
+
+Burn a vector dataset into a raster
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+See :ref:`gdal_vector_rasterize_example_burn`.
+
+Extract pixel values from a raster and apply them to a point dataset
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Example dataset: ``points.gpkg`` contains a single layer called ``points`` with a geometry column named ``geometry``.
+
+.. tabs::

+    gdal vector sql points.gpkg \

+        --dialect SQLITE \
+        --overwrite
