You'll need a lot more than that to understand Facebook's rules. I would imagine they have hundreds of columns in dozens of rows to implement even the basic functions they have - if they even use an SQL database. Reverse engineering even a part of it would be a massive undertaking.
If you want to get an idea, look at some of the open source forums. They're much simpler but even they have lots of tables. That will at least give you a start.
