"Any" table will not work. Database tables must have certain structure for TYPO3 and they must be described in a special TYPO3 way. Looking to the SQL quesry below I do not think that those tables are valid for TYPO3. At least the name of the table is not valid.

Mr. Harris: People say that you were the last person to speak with Jordon...
            Is that true? 
Cameron: I don't know. Are you asking me if people say I was the last person
            to talk to Jordon? Or are you asking me if I was the last person
            to talk to her? 
Mr. Harris: I guess I'm asking if you were. 
Cameron: I don't know.
