Thanks for the response Michael as far as I can tell there is no reflective step in created the declarative_base the code is as posted.
My table names in sybase are uppercase, if i try lower case it fails: ProgrammingError: (pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', '[42000] [Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Enterprise]risk_aggregation_group not found.

Would I be correct in saying that what you're expecting is that in _setup_table the table should not already exist in the dict?
