How to ignore (exclude) some tables from analyse database? about jailer

This is currently not possible. All tables of a schema to be analyzed are always taken over into the data model. There they would have to be removed manually if you do not want them in the data model.

Would an "exclude/ignore" feature make sense?
My thoughts on the subject were:

• If an unwanted table is associated with a wanted one, there could be inconsistencies in the result of the export/delete (if e.g. Parents are not wanted).
• If there are no such associations, the unwanted tables are isolated from the others and therefore should not interfere further.

What do you think?

👍 That makes sense. I think extraction model will be a better place to exclude unwanted relations.

In order to track future database changes continuously, I won't delete or remove any table manually from data model. (Indeed some of them, especially trash ones, should be removed from database. So that, on next analyse database they will be removed from data model also.)

I will ignore (or exclude) all unwanted tables on extraction model. Since extraction model keeps tracking of excludes (restrictions), all unwanted relations won't be affected from future data model updates.
