hi there - would need a complete example and SQLAlchemy version in use, Table does have a "_columns" attribute and both patterns described below are things that should work without an error like this, additionally the complete stack trace would also be helpful. Unpickling the metadata is a place where it is more plausible that the state of the Table is broken but that does not apply when you are just doing autoload_with.
