Research direction

Search the Python API for the existing select_only parameter and inspect how table selections are applied when creating EntitySets from SQL databases. Define how do_not_select should interact with select_only, then add coverage showing that excluded tables are omitted while the remaining tables are selected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Suppose user has 100 tables, and wants to include all but n. It may be useful to have a do_not_select parameter instead of having to enumerate the 100-n tables they do want in the select_only argument.
