How can I ignore certain schemas with alembic --autogenerate

Question

I have a library that\'s part of a bigger project. The library uses its own schema in a (PostgreSQL) database shared with the larger project.

I want to use ale

Answer 1

Based on Oin response, finally a method which ignores tables while running db revision --autogenerate

In alembic/env.py or migrations/env.py:

def include_object(object, name, type_, reflected, compare_to):
    if (type_ == "table" and object.schema == "exclude_from_migrations"):
        return False
    else:
       return True

In alembic/env.py or migrations/env.py:

def run_migrations_online():
   ....
   context.configure(connection=connection,
                  target_metadata=target_metadata,
                  include_object = include_object,
                  process_revision_directives=process_revision_directives,
                  **current_app.extensions['migrate'].configure_args)
   ...

Now in the tables that you want to ignore:

class MyClass(db.Model):
__tablename__='my_class'
__table_args__ = {"schema": "exclude_from_migrations"}

Answer 2

It seems I can use include_object in conjunction with include_schemas

In alembic/env.py:

def include_object(object, name, type_, reflected, compare_to):
    if type_ == 'table' and object.schema != MY_SCHEMA:
        return False

    return True

...
context.configure(..., include_object=include_object, ...)
