CREATE TABLE sch_test.user_table
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  username character varying,
  pass character varying,
  first_name character varying(30),
  last_name character varying(30),
  CONSTRAINT user_table_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

+----+------------+-----------+----------+------+
| id | first_name | last_name | username | pass |   
+----+------------+-----------+----------+------+
| 1  | hello      | world     | hello    | word |   
+----+------------+-----------+----------+------+
| 2  | root       | me        | root     | toor |   
+----+------------+-----------+----------+------+
