-The above code tells Sequelize to expect a table named `users` in the database with the fields `firstName` and `lastName`. The table name is automatically pluralized by default (a library called [inflection](https://www.npmjs.com/package/inflection) is used under the hood to do this). This behavior can be stopped for a specific model by using the `freezeTableName: true` option, or for all models by using the `define` option from the Sequelize constructor.
