I had a similar issue that I resolved by creating a set_data_model function that when I called in it would set some global variable to the table objects based on the product passed in to the function. I'm using multiple schemas in a Postgres database and wanted to try to limit the number of connections and this was the best way to do that. The other benefit is that none of my external scripts need to know anything about the schemas or keeping track of different sessions. The basic idea is shown below.
