I am really just practising and seeing what people think, the table i was thinking about was to be a basic user login system, maybe a profile, just to practise really.

I already use the md5() and PASSWORD() functions, there handy

I may end up turning this into a small CMS for myself, i know for that i need more tables with id, title, comment, user id etc..
