    Did you know that identifiers can never be numeric because you don’t do any math with them.

    Why did you create your own stock item id, instead of using some industry-standard such as EAV, GTIN, or whatever?

    Advocating bad practise again, Joe?  Totally unrelational EAV will make a more relational database?   Identifiers not numeric because wasting vast amounts of space some other type for identifers is going to be good for performance?
