ah, well the "owner" attribute is news to me, and if that's already supported all the way through SA, and if the dialect can build the " schema.owner.table" string, then that's already a huge part of the way there.
As for DBAPI concerns, I know that at least pymssql will take the database.owner.table construct; it's pretty dumb about letting SQL through, which at least in this case is a good thing. But the officially supported DBAPI for MSSQL is pyodbc which may be a bit more finicky about such things, as it is presumably smarter about table namespaces. I guess the thing to do is to try it through pyodbc with a hard-coded string, and if that works, then along with the "owner" construct, it should just a few tweaks to MSSQL dialect.
