  9. It create a database called ASPNETDB.MDF with required tables and other database components
  10. Open the database in Server explorer or Database Explorer and create tables - MB_PROFILES, MB_FRIENDS, MB_UPDATES with the following structure. The following tables show the structure of these tables. MB_PROFILES
    userid          uniqueidentifier  (primary key)
    onlinebio       varchar(200)
    picturefile     varchar(20)
    followerscount  int
    friendscount    int
    updatescount    int
    
    Note : userid is linked with userid of ASPNET_USERS table.
    
    
    MB_UPDATES
    updateid        int    identify column (primary key)
    userid          uniqueidentifier
    test            varchar(140)
    timestamp       datetime

  11. Create the following trigger for ASPNET_USERS table/li>
    CREATE TRIGGER trg_insert_profile_row
    ON dbo.aspnet_Users
    FOR Insert
    AS
    declare @userid uniqueidentifier
    
     /* insert a row into profiles table */
     select @userid = userid from inserted
     
     insert into mb_profiles values(@userid,'','default_profile',0,0,0);
    
    
  12. Create the following stored procedure in the database.
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.mb_addfriend(@userid uniqueidentifier, @friendid uniqueidentifier)
    AS
