Can we Scaffold DbContext from selected tables of an existing database

Package Manger Console (MySql)

Scaffold-DbContext "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=yourpassword;database=sakila" MySql.EntityFrameworkCore -OutputDir Models -Tables actor,film,film_actor,language -f

Package Manager Console (MSSQL)

Scaffold-DbContext "Server=desktop-vd5sscb;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Integrated Security=True" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -f

Package Manager Console (Sqlite)

Scaffold-DbContext "data source = yourdbname" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite -OutputDir Models -f

For Sqlite The default db dir is your project folder... where controller folders are located

Force tag will update the existing selected models/files in the output directory.

Scaffold-DbContext "Server=(localdb)\v11.0;Database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -t User, Role -f

.NET Core CLI:

dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=mypass;database=sakila" MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -o sakila -t actor -t film -t film_actor -t language -f

Package Manager Console in Visual Studio:

Scaffold-DbContext "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=mypass;database=sakila" MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -OutputDir Sakila -Tables actor,film,film_actor,language -f

EF Core,MS SQL PM :

Scaffold-DbContext "server=PC\SQL2012;user=test;password=test123;database=student" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir student-Tables stu.names,stu.grades -f

One can solve the problem by usage of dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold command with multiple -t (--table) parameters. It allows to specify all the tables, which needed by imported (scaffolded). The feature is described initially here.

It is possible to specify the exact tables in a schema to use when scaffolding database and to omit the rest. The command-line examples that follow show the parameters needed for filtering tables.

.NET Core CLI:

dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold
          "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=mypass;database=sakila" 
         MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -o sakila
         -t actor -t film -t film_actor -t language -f  

Package Manager Console in Visual Studio:

Scaffold-DbContext "server=localhost;port=3306;user=root;password=mypass;database=sakila"
     MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore -OutputDir Sakila
     -Tables actor,film,film_actor,language -f
