+# 0009. Schema exclusion is a config blacklist — excluded schemas are removed as orphans
+
+- **Status**: accepted
+- **Date**: 2026-07-27
+
+## Context
+
+`sqlapi-generate-schema` regenerates every table by default (ADR 0007: schemas are
+disposable mirrors). There was no way to keep unwanted tables — migration bookkeeping
+(`knex_migrations*`), PostGIS internals (`spatial_ref_sys`), vendor tables — out of the
+generated schemas short of deleting the files after every run.
+
+## Decision
+
+A blacklist lives in the existing config file: `excludeTables: string[]` in
+`sqlapi.config.ts`, matched against the DB table name, with `*` as the only wildcard.
+
+Excluded tables are **invisible to the generator**: their schemas are not generated, and a
+previously generated `Schema*.ts` for an excluded table is removed by the orphan cleanup
+on the next full run — exactly as if the table had been dropped. This keeps the ADR 0007
+invariant intact: everything under `schemas/` is a disposable mirror; excluding a table
+must not turn its schema file into a hand-maintained exception.
+
+This does not contradict ADR 0007's rejection of a skip-list for *tables*: there, explicit
+invocation solves exclusion for free. For schemas the default is "all", so a blacklist is
+the only way to exclude — and the same ADR is why `excludeTables` does **not** apply to
+`sqlapi-generate-tables`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **`.schemaignore` file next to the schemas** — rejected: a second config format and a
+  second source of truth to parse and document, when a typed config file already exists.
+- **CLI-only `--exclude` flag** — rejected as the primary mechanism: the exclusion is a
+  durable property of the project, not of one invocation; forgetting the flag once would
+  resurrect the unwanted schemas.
+- **Keeping excluded schema files on disk (generator "never touches" them)** — rejected:
+  it would silently support hand-maintained files under `schemas/`, breaking the "always
+  safe to regenerate everything" property of ADR 0007.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Adding a table to `excludeTables` deletes its generated schema file on the next full
+  run. This is intended: excluded means gone, not frozen.
+- Hand-written schemas do not belong in `schemas/`; exclusion is not a mechanism to
+  protect local edits.
+- An invalid `excludeTables` value (not an array of strings) fails the run with an
+  explicit error rather than being silently ignored.
