User DB lookup in pictures

From PluginWiki

If you're one of those people for whom a picture paints a thousand words, then this is the page for you.

There are screengrabs of

1. a designed table
2. a configured db (to return information drawn from the table at 1 above) in the DB tab of the plugin
3. a member's details in the format of 1 above
4. the whole thing processed for one member - therefore pulling together what you see in 2 and 3 above.

These screengrabs are intended to complement the full explanation on the User DB lookup page and show what you should have achieved at a specific point on that page.
