1. You can declare your database tables the normal way:

class MyTable(SQLObject):
   name = StringCol()

Just do not create the tables.

2. You can ask SQLObject to draw the description for you from the database:

class MyTable(SQLObject):
   class sqlmeta:
      fromDatabase = True

All database drivers in SQLObject (except SQLite) support fromDatabase...
to some extent...
