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),
