I'd tend to prefer the 'mib2c.table_data.conf' framework.
If the MIB is monitoring data taken from an underlying subsystem,
then you'd probably want to invoke this as
mib2c -c mib2c.table_data.conf -Scache=1 myTable
to include the 'load()' routine. This is where you'd read in the
current contents of the table from this underlying system.

The main code to look at would be the load() routine.
That's the main interface between the MIB module and the
underlying system, so is the one place where we can't really
provide automatically generated code. The initial contents
are simply a basic example, to give you the general idea.
You'd also need to check that the per-row data structure is
suitable for your needs, and that the GET handling is correct
(especially for string-based variables).
It's difficult to be more specific, without knowing more details about your
tables and the information that they are monitoring.
