I also wanted to specify a handful of tables. I followed Oleg's explanation for showing how to import multiple tables in one command. But .Net Core 3.1, in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console, that way gives the error - Cannot bind parameter because parameter 'Tables' is specified more than once. To provide multiple values to parameters that can accept multiple values, use the array syntax. For example, "-parameter value1,value2,value3".

So Oleg's syntax would have to be changed to - t dbo.Users,dbo.Products,dbo.Orders

My full command was from the Package Manager Console is -

Scaffold-DbContext "Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=dbname;User ID=usn;PWD=mypw;Connect Timeout=100" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -f -t dbo.Users,dbo.Products,dbo.Orders
