[ic] How the tables work

I realize this is a rather large request, but would somebody care to explain
how the IC table structure works?

I seems that IC treats certain tables differently than others under an
RDbMS.  For example, adding columns to 'products' works differently than to
'userdb'.  Furthermore, why does 'products' allow you to change
dbconf/<dbtype>/products.<dbtype> and restart to add the column, but
'userdb' does not?  Finally, what is the procedure for adding new tables
altogether so that they may be integrated into the admin UI?

Thanks to all!
