Ok, I know I can change any code I want to fit my needs, however, my concern
with expanding the data_context structure of Table1 with fields from Table2 was
that I thought performing a "snmpwalk" through Table1 would then display Table2
fields now .... and that would be bad since Table2 fields really do not belong
in the Table1 "snmpwalk" output.
Are you saying if I add additional fields to the "Table1" data_context
structure, then the "snmpwalk" will somehow only display the Table1 originally
defined fields only and "not" display these new fields?

It's just code, you can do whatever you want! In fact, this is what the
ifTable/ifXTable code does... the ifTable structures have been expanded to
include the data for ifXTable entries. however, those tables have a 1-1
relationship, not a sparse relationship. But if you don't mind wasting the
space in each row with all the fields for each table that augments table 1, you
can simply put all the field definitions in table 1's data structure. If the
fields are mutually exclusive, you could probably even use a union to reduce
wasted space in the data context. Alternatively, you could just have the row
indexes populated during the load, and use the row_prep function to fetch the
row data as needed.
