three kinds of people

progress on scat continues to be slow, because i have not found a lot of time to work on it. but every week i have to deal with processing our weekly in-take of products with our current point-of-sale system, i kick myself a little more and get motivated to spend a little more time on it.

the big addition today was a table for people, which is pretty straightforward. our current system divides people up into three types (and stores them in the same table as products, thanks to a normalization scheme i have not carried over into scat), and currently i don’t make any such distinction because sometimes customers can become employees and vendors can be customers and we have few enough of all three that keeping them distinct doesn’t seem worth the extra complexity.
