Would be nice if the code supported regex-based table/column ignore. We have tables that are generated with a prefix followed by some hash (_tmp_1477937742941_0dbe9593_J as an example). Would be nice to be able to ignore all "tmp%" tables when doing comparisons.

Nice use case!

We actually have a PR #35 open which enables this functionality: https://github.com/DBDiff/DBDiff/pull/35. Feel free to give it a test or to add the specific commits into your local version of DBDiff.

I do expect it may be some months before we're ready to merge this in!

That PR seems to address data, not tables
