This will save a cart, into your "carts" table, using the user-supplied
"c_nickname" value:

    [userdb function="set_cart" nickname="[value c_nickname]" database="carts"]

The [save-cart] UserTag you were using doesn't accept a "database"
parameter.  You could easily modify that tag if you decide that you
need that functionality.

Each user has their own row in the userdb table (and/or the table you
specify to the [userdb] tag).  Each user can specify their own set of
nicknames.  Saving a cart using a nickname specified by one user will
not overwrite another user's cart, even if the other user specifies the
same nickname.
