Includes and Excludes

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

Perhaps the most important elements of the code generation configuration are used for the inclusion and exclusion of content as reported by your database meta data configuration

These expressions match any of the following object types, either by their fully qualified names (catalog.schema.object_name), or by their names only (object_name):

• Array types
• Domains
• Enums
• Links
• Packages
• Queues
• Routiens
• Sequences
• Tables
• UDTs

Excludes match before includes, meaning that something that has been excluded cannot be included again. Remember, these expressions are regular expressions with default flags, so multiple names need to be separated with the pipe symbol "|", not with commas, etc. For example:

<configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-3.11.0.xsd">
  <generator>
    <database>
      <includes>.*</includes>
      <excludes>
           UNUSED_TABLE                # This table (unqualified name) should not be generated
         | PREFIX_.*                   # Objects with a given prefix should not be generated
         | SECRET_SCHEMA\.SECRET_TABLE # This table (qualified name) should not be generated
         | SECRET_ROUTINE              # This routine (unqualified name) ...
      </excludes>
    </database>
  </generator>
</configuration>

new org.jooq.meta.jaxb.Configuration()
  .withGenerator(new Generator()
    .withDatabase(new Database()
      .withIncludes(".*")
      .withExcludes("" +
      "UNUSED_TABLE                # This table (unqualified name) should not be generated" +
      "| PREFIX_.*                   # Objects with a given prefix should not be generated" +
      "| SECRET_SCHEMA\\.SECRET_TABLE # This table (qualified name) should not be generated" +
      "| SECRET_ROUTINE              # This routine (unqualified name) ..." +
      "")
    )
  )

myConfigurationName(sourceSets.main) {
  generator {
    database {
      includes = '.*'
      excludes = '''
           UNUSED_TABLE                # This table (unqualified name) should not be generated
         | PREFIX_.*                   # Objects with a given prefix should not be generated
         | SECRET_SCHEMA\.SECRET_TABLE # This table (qualified name) should not be generated
         | SECRET_ROUTINE              # This routine (unqualified name) ...
      '''
    }
  }
}

As always, when regular expressions are used, they are regular expressions with default flags.

A special, additional option allows for specifying whether the above two regular expressions should also match table columns. The following example will hide an INVISIBLE_COL in any table (and also tables called this way, of course):

<configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-3.11.0.xsd">
  <generator>
    <database>
      <includes>.*</includes>
      <excludes>INVISIBLE_COL</excludes>
      <includeExcludeColumns>true</includeExcludeColumns>
    </database>
  </generator>
</configuration>

new org.jooq.meta.jaxb.Configuration()
  .withGenerator(new Generator()
    .withDatabase(new Database()
      .withIncludes(".*")
      .withExcludes("INVISIBLE_COL")
      .withIncludeExcludeColumns(true)
    )
  )

myConfigurationName(sourceSets.main) {
  generator {
    database {
      includes = '.*'
      excludes = 'INVISIBLE_COL'
      includeExcludeColumns = true
    }
  }
}

As always, when regular expressions are used, they are regular expressions with default flags.
