# key in another table.
# A Simple table of Users,
CREATE TABLE users(
userId INT NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
passwd VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(userId);
);
# Lets add a LEGIT user!
INSERT INTO users VALUES(1000,"Terry","Teabagface$2");
# We will create an order table that holds a reference
# to an order made by our Terry
CREATE TABLE orders(
orderId INT NOT NULL,
orderDescription VARCHAR(255),
ordererId INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(orderId),
FOREIGN KEY (ordererId) REFERENCES users(userId)
);
# Now we can add an order from Terry
INSERT INTO orders VALUES(0001,"Goat p0rn Weekly",1000);
