Use the "price_level" column instead of your "status" column, in the
userdb table, and then set up "user profiles" for each price level.

Each user profile can specify its own CommonAdjust directive for use
by that class of user, so you can make the dealer profile look at your
cryptically named "vk0" column, while pointing ordinary users at your
"vk2" column.

Look at your etc/after.cfg file for good examples of this setup.
If you don't have an etc/after.cfg file then the CVS copy of the
Foundation (tools) demo version can be found here:
