 ### Adding a new table
 1. Create a [migration](./src/typeorm/migration/README.md) - use the [baseline](./src/typeorm/migration/1592203031938-Baseline.ts) as an exemplar
-1. Create a new entity that implements the requisite interface or extend an existing entity as required - see [db-user.ts](./src/typeorm/entity/db-user.ts)
-1. If it is a new table, create the matching injectable ORM implementation and interface (if required) - see [user-db-impl.ts](./src/typeorm/user-db-impl.ts) and [user-db.ts](./src/user-db.ts). Otherwise extend the existing interface and implementation as required.
-1. Add the injectable implementation to the [DB container module](./src/container-module.ts), binding the interface and implementation as appropriate, otherwise it will not be instantiated correctly e.g.
