Revert "Fix: #746"

[mdipierro]

Reverts #749

We already fixed it in

if not self._db or tablename not in self._db:
             # The table being referenced is not defined yet
             return None

[leonelcamara]

Nope, a tablename can be "in" db as in contains says it's there and still throw an AttributeError when you try to access it

[mdipierro]

I will unrevert the revert.
