Note this above tables are simply used for example. You could decide to store more information for your purposes (i.e., your may store more than just a name in the user table). Already, however, the schema is getting kind of complex-each table has foreign keys to one or more.
Note:you can use a pre-existing user table if you wish. We simply provide the Tblauctionusers table definition for completeness sake.
