I have a class UserProfile defined which takes the default user as a foreign key. Now another class A has a foreign key to UserProfile.
So for saving any instance in class A, how do i give it the userprofile object.

Also, does making a class UserProfile mean that class user is still used and class UserProfile is just some other table?
I need to know this as I have to take care of the user profile creation, so I should know what gets stored where?
