Enhanced imam discover configuration

The discover option of imam command needs more detailed configuration parameters, like the import option. We need the ability to import only tables and not views, synonyms or any other objects. As this is related to our data discovery operations, there are even more things that can be suggested, but they are more general and concern the available functionality of the tool.

    Hello,

    It is enough to have the parameters of the import option. At the current case, the user wants to import only database tables and not views, synonyms, external tables, etc. There may be another case, when some of these may be necessary, so the best way is to have enough flexibility in configuration.

    Best regards,

    Hi Nayden, thanks for your idea! Can you provide some additional detail? Is the user need to be able to import views or other types of metadata? What other parameters does the user need to satisfy the request? Thanks
