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
- Sequences
- Tables
- UDTs
Excludes match before includes, meaning that something that has been excluded cannot be included again. For example:
<configuration>
<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>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.
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) ...
""")
)
)

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>
<generator>
<database>
<includes>.*</includes>
<excludes>INVISIBLE_COL</excludes>
<includeExcludeColumns>true</includeExcludeColumns>
</database>
</generator>
</configuration>

.withGenerator(new Generator()
.withDatabase(new Database()
.withIncludes(".*")
.withExcludes("INVISIBLE_COL")
.withIncludeExcludeColumns(true)

As always, when regular expressions are used, they are regular expressions with default flags.
If these flags are enabled, make sure to understand that they will match on all the relevant levels of identifier hierarchy. E.g. for includeExcludeColumns, a regular expression will now match both the table and the column. E.g. use this kind of expression then:
<configuration>
<generator>
<database>
<includes>
# Table part of the expression
(
TABLE1
| TABLE2
)
# Column part of the expression (optional for tables)
(\..*)?
</includes>
<excludes>INVISIBLE_COL</excludes>
<includeExcludeColumns>true</includeExcludeColumns>
</database>
</generator>
</configuration>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.
