[ic] Database Schema notes

[Dan Busarow]

Another late response.  When I was doing POS software in an earlier 
life, in addition to Category/Subcategory we also had

   Department / Class / Line

This was for department stores, example

   Sporting Goods / Baseball / Spaulding

This was brick and mortar stuff so it was used only for reporting.   I 
can see the utility for additional search criteria too.
