its true that there's no built in functionality to reflect views. In the case of your views, just create Table instances manually, specifying the view names, column names, and column types explicitly. Set the "primary_key=True" flag on those columns which you'd like to consider as part of the primary key within your application. No database change is necessary. If you need to reflect an actual table in the DB, and you'd like to override what columns are considered as part of the primary key within your application, you specify those columns explicitly as in http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/metadata.html#overriding-reflected-columns . > I can reflect a table as long as I connect as the table owner which as > I stated before I will not be able to do.
