OnModelCreating only called once even for new contexts

Question

I have multiple SQL server tables that are the same, but differ in content. In writing a code first EF6 program I am trying to reuse the same db context for each and pass in the table name to the context constructor.

However, while the constructor is being called every time, the OnModelCreating method is only being called once despite the db context being created from new every time. How do I reset this?

I have tried using AsNoTracking and I read along the lines of disabling ModelCaching but couldn't find out how to do this or whether this was the best approach. MSDN even says 'this caching can be disabled by setting the ModelCaching property on the given ModelBuidler[sic],' but it's not there.

This is my DB Context:

public partial class MissingContext : DbContext
{
    private string tableName = "";
    public MissingContext(string tableName) : base("name=MissingContext")
    {
        this.tableName = tableName;
    }

    public virtual DbSet<MissingData> MissingDataSet { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<MissingData>()
           .ToTable(this.tableName);
    }
}

This is my code to use it:

List<MissingData> missingData=null;
string[] inputTables="TABLEA;TABLEB;TABLEC".Split(';');
foreach (string table in inputTables)
{
    logger.Info($"Processing {table}");
    missingData = null;

    MissingContext db = new MissingContext(table);
    var query = from d in db.MissingDataSet.AsNoTracking()
                select d;
    missingData = query.ToList();
}

In running, table always has the correct TABLEA, TABLEB, TABLEC and it is passed in to the db context constructor, however the OnModelCreating is only called once for the very first loop item so the SQL generated by the query object always selects from TABLEA:

SELECT 
[Extent1].[id] AS [id], 
[Extent1].[OrganisationName] AS [OrganisationName] 
FROM [dbo].[**TABLEA**] AS [Extent1]

*apologies if any code looks wrong, I rename some variables as they are business sensitive.

OnModelCreating will be called only once that's default behaviour.

According to OnModelCreating documentation.

Typically, this method is called only once when the first instance of a derived context is created. The model for that context is then cached and is for all further instances of the context in the app domain. This caching can be disabled by setting the ModelCaching property on the given ModelBuidler, but note that this can seriously degrade performance. More control over caching is provided through use of the DbModelBuilder and DbContextFactory classes directly.
