Hi Roger, 

   I struggled with this for a while too.  It turns out that you need
   to name the database whatever your table is called.  For example,
   in my case the table is called 'plant', so I have a line like this:

      Database   products   plant.asc  dbi:mysql:heronswood:mysql:3306

   plants.asc is the definition for your SQL database, but it doesn't
   even have to exist yet.  Just touch products/plants.sql if your
   database is already there.

   The rest of the syntax is the same.

   You can just rename products.asc to businesses.asc (if businesses 
   are actually your products).

   If this is an extra database in addition to the products one, follow
   the same format.
