Hi Denis,
Thank you for reporting this. In jOOQ 3.8, we've started supporting the org.jooq.Catalog type in the code generator, which is very useful in SQL Server, one of the few databases that allows multi-catalog queries (they're called databases in SQL Server).
Unfortunately, jOOQ 3.8 was shipped without #4794, which allows for configuring catalogs in the code generator, as many users don't want all the catalogs to be generated:
The best workaround so far is to use <includes/> and <excludes/> to exclude all the undesired catalogs. The catalogs themselves will still be generated, but they will at least be empty. If that's still an issue, you could remove those catalogs in a post-generation build step.
I hope this helps - and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Lukas
