can't reproduce your result with any of SQLAlchemy version 1.0, 1.1, or current master. Here's a test case against 1.1's format, if you are using 1.0 remove the "options" element from the assertion list: import sqlite3 import os if os.path.exists('test.db'): os.unlink('test.db') conn = sqlite3.connect('test.db') conn.execute('CREATE TABLE table_one(column_one INTEGER, column_two TEXT)') conn.execute("""CREATE TABLE table_two( column_X INTEGER, column_Y TEXT, FOREIGN KEY(column_X) REFERENCES table_one(column_one) )""") conn.close() from sqlalchemy import create_engine, inspect import sqlalchemy as sa engine = create_engine("sqlite:///test.db", echo='debug') for table_name in ("table_one", "table_two"): print("1. -------------------------------------") fk_no_schema = sa.engine.reflection.Inspector.\ from_engine(engine).get_foreign_keys(table_name) print(fk_no_schema) print("2. -------------------------------------") fk_schema = sa.engine.reflection.Inspector.\ from_engine(engine).get_foreign_keys(table_name, schema='main') print(fk_schema) if table_name == "table_two": assert fk_no_schema == [ { 'name': None, 'referred_columns': [u'column_one'], 'referred_table': u'table_one', 'constrained_columns': [u'column_X'], 'referred_schema': None, 'options': {}} ] assert fk_schema == [ { 'name': None, 'referred_columns': [u'column_one'], 'referred_table': u'table_one', 'constrained_columns': [u'column_X'], 'referred_schema': 'main', 'options': {}} ] the output of each "table2" without the SQL echoing is: [{'name': None, 'referred_columns': [u'column_one'], 'referred_table': u'table_one', 'constrained_columns': [u'column_X'], 'referred_schema': None, 'options': {}}] [{'name': None, 'referred_columns': [u'column_one'], 'referred_table': u'table_one', 'constrained_columns': [u'column_X'], 'referred_schema': 'main', 'options': {}}] the only difference is that when you ask for the FKs in terms of the "main" schema, vs. the "default" schema (which is the same thing, just implicit), it maintains that as the "referred_schema" argument in the returned list. Things which may impact the behavior of SQLite are: SQLAlchemy version Python / pysqlite version sqlite3.so version underlying the pysqlite version operating system otherwise if you can confirm the above test case works, the job is to figure out what's different about your original run vs. this one. > > > -- > SQLAlchemy - > The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper > > http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ > > To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and > Verifiable Example.
