I need to create a new schema with some tables in it whenever a new company 
record is added.
Below are my entities (defined with Flask-SqlAlchemy framework extension):

class Company(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'company'
    __table_args__ = {"schema":"app"}
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(100), nullable=False)

class Customer(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'customer'
    company_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('app.company.id', 
onupdate='CASCADE', ondelete='CASCADE'), nullable=False)
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    code = db.Column(db.String(20), nullable=False)
    name = db.Column(db.String(100), nullable=False)

Now when a company is inserted the following code executes:

            company_schema = 'c' + str(company_id)
            db.session.execute(CreateSchema(company_schema))
            db.session.commit()
            meta = db.MetaData(bind=db.engine)
            for table in db.metadata.tables.items(): 
                if table[1].name not in ('company'):
                    table[1].tometadata(meta, company_schema) 
            meta.create_all()

The above will throw an error: 
    NoReferencedTableError: Foreign key associated with column 
'customer.company_id' could not find table 'company'

After some googling, I found that tometadata() changes constraint schema 
too. I also found a code, 
suggested by Michael Bayer (
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13008.html): 

def copy_table(table, metadata, schema_map):
    args = []
    for c in table.columns:
        args.append(c.copy())
    for c in table.constraints:
        if isinstance(c, db.ForeignKeyConstraint):
            elem = list(c.elements)[0]
            schema = schema_map[elem.column.table.schema]
        else:
            schema=None
        args.append(c.copy(schema=schema))
    return db.Table(table.name, metadata, schema=schema_map[table.schema], 
*args)

Now I replaced tometadata() with the above function:

    copy_table(table[1], meta, {None: schema_name, 'app': 'app'})
    print meta.tables.items()

But the error is the same:  NoReferencedTableError. However, print clearly 
shows that 
for company_id constraint, schema hasn't changed:
('c28.customer', 
Table('customer', 
MetaData(bind=Engine(postgresql://postgres:concept@localhost:5432/clients)), 
Column('company_id', Integer(), ForeignKey('app.company.id'), 
table=<customer>, nullable=False), 
Column('id', Integer(), table=<customer>, primary_key=True, 
nullable=False), 
Column('description', String(length=100), table=<customer>, 
nullable=False), schema='c28')) 

I also tried to define ForeignKey as follows, but the error is the same:

company_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey(Company.__table__.c.id, 
onupdate='CASCADE', ondelete='CASCADE'), nullable=False)

Can someone kindly help me with this issue?
