How do I define an explicit list of tables in my source (Postgres) and not have CloudQuery crash if the table does not exist?

(Context: I am syncing Shopify from Fivetran and some tables do not exist for certain shops.)

Hi @trusted-cheetah,

Could you please share your configuration (feel free to redact any private information)? I’m not entirely sure I understand your setup and how Shopify and Fivetran fit in with Postgres.

Additionally, could you share the error you’re experiencing?
