    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)

     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.
