Michael,
I had missed calling MetaData, but after making the call, I get the following
traceback.
>>> from sqlalchemy import MetaData, create_engine, Table
>>> meta = MetaData()
>>> engine1 = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://mydsn")
>>> valid_species_table = Table(
... 'tf_valid_species', meta, autoload = True, autoload_with = engine1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am wanting to have SQLAlchemy pull the table schema from the database. I
have just started trying to work through Essential SQLAlchemy and believe that
I am using a syntax that is no longer supported in SQLAlchemy 0.6.6. This what
I have tried:
from sqlalchemy import MetaData, create_engine, Table
meta = MetaData
engine1 = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://mydsn")
valid_species_table = Table('tf_valid_species', meta, autoload = True,
autoload_with = engine1)
I get a traceback that indicates MetaData does not have an attribute 'tables'
(see below). Thus far, though I expect it exists, I have not found anything
comparable within the 0.6.6
you need to construct the "MetaData":
meta = MetaData()
otherwise the example looks OK.
