Shindig doesn't *have* tables. It's intended that the conatiner (Drupal, in your case) will provide that data that it needs to feed to the gadgets. So, what you need to write is some glue code that reads Drupal's data and presents it in the format Shinding needs it. Look for the Partuza project, that's a sample PHP container that uses Shindig.
