Answer 1

Based on previous answers, I filter table names directly into the SQL query. I'm agree it's a small optimization but that avoids unnecessary loop.

protected function truncateDatabase($excepts = []): void
{
    $excepts = array_merge(['migrations'], $excepts);
    \DB::statement('SET foreign_key_checks=0');
    $table_names = \DB::query()->select('TABLE_NAME')->from('information_schema.tables')
        ->where('TABLE_SCHEMA', \DB::getDatabaseName())
        ->whereNotIn('TABLE_NAME', $excepts)
        ->get()
        ->pluck('TABLE_NAME')
        ->toArray();
    foreach ($table_names as $table_name) {
        \DB::table($table_name)->truncate();
    }
    \DB::statement('SET foreign_key_checks=1');
}
