Here is an example with a curve over a small field GF(17)$=\Bbb F_{17}$ having order $23$ and exactly one generator: $$ E \ :\ y^2 = x^3 +3x+5\qquad\text{ over }F=\Bbb F_{17}\ . $$ Then every non trivial point is a generator, let $P=(2,6)\in E(F)$ be our choice for the table. The table can be obtained via:

sage: P = E.point( (2, 6) )
sage: print E.order(), P.order()
23 23
sage: for k in range(23):
....:     Q = k*P
....:     print "%2s | %s" % (k, Q.xy() if Q else 'ZERO')
....:
