Description
Comes from this discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/CuczZovhp74
It would be great to be able to manually choose what table and/or views should be inspected when using the inspectdb command, specially in situations where readable table/views are not properly reported by the DB.
Here's a pull request with my proposed solution: https://github.com/django/django/pull/5530

I think #14098 should solve this use case. Tables which can't be introspected will now be skipped.

Now I realized the problem isn't that the table can't be introspected but that it's not returned by the existing introspection query on Oracle. So we either need to revise that query or accept this feature.
Added docs and release notes in the pull request.
