Insert User

A company needs a stored procedure that will insert a new user with an appropriate type.

Consider the following tables:

TABLE userTypes
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
  type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

TABLE users
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
  email VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
  userTypeId INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES userTypes(id)

Finish the insertUser procedure so that it inserts a user, with these requirements:

id is auto incremented.
email is equal to the email parameter.
userTypeId is the id of the userTypes row whose type attribute is equal to the type parameter.

See the example case for more details.

Since we’re all biased and we use incorrect proxies, why not just outsource hiring to experts or recruitment agencies? After all, they’ve been screening people for many years, so they must know how to do it right?
