# The <ignoreColumn> Element

The <ignoreColumn> element is used to tell MyBatis Generator (MBG) to ignore a column in an introspected table. No generated SQL will refer to the column, and no property will be generated for the column in the model objects. This element is an optional child element of the <table> element.

## Required Attributes

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
column | The column name of the ignored column.

## Optional Attributes

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
delimitedColumnName | If `true` then MBG will perform a case-sensitive exact match when matching against returned columns from the database. If `false` (default) then the name is considered case-insensitive.

## Child Elements
