i was reading about how to do memebership,roles and profiles in asp.net and they all seem to be very easy,but there is one thing, which all the tutorials and books i have seem to forget to talk about.
the data base generated by asp.net has some tables, which i have no idea what they are used for.
i was woundering if anyone could provide me with an explanation of what each table in the "aspnetdb" is used for
thanks in advance

It's used to house the data used by the default membership/roles/profiles provider. You could figure out the details (it's not a complicated schema) but good design principles would say you should treat it like a black box and not touch it directly - only touch it via the membership/role/profile APIs. Don't rely on Microsoft keeping their internal implementation details the same in the future.

Explaining it here would be a bit lengthy. Take a look at MSDN's documentation here.
There are 8 parts to the article in total. Each one describes what each table is used for from both a high level and a more detailed level.
