Liquibase generate change log on db based on table name prefix

Can I generate Liquibase changelog from a DB based on table name prefix.

Example: If I have a DB schema and it has following tables:

abc
abcd
abcdef
xyz

I just want to generate ChangeLog for tables starting with "abc". So changelog for tables

abc, abcd, abcdef

Can someone help me if there's a way to do this?

Solution

  • This works for me on Windows 10:

    liquibase.properties:

    changeLogFile=dbchangelog.xml
classpath=C:/Program\ Files/liquibase/lib/mysql-connector-java-8.0.20.jar
driver=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/liquibase?serverTimezone=UTC
username=root
password=password
schemas=liquibase
includeSchema=true
includeTablespace=true
includeObjects=table:persons

    C:\Users\username\Desktop>liquibase generateChangeLog
