That's because "tinytext" is no type known to PHP (only SQL). Use "string"  
instead. Maybe you also need to move the description one line up - I'm not  
sure on that.

As far as I experienced mapping of different tables works as long as you  
don't try to use the scheduler or any other technique that does not  
initialize extbase correctly. I tried this once with the tt_address table.
