VbzCart/docs/tables/cust addr

About

• Fields:
  • Name will at first be set only by us, but later on customers will be able to set it and will be increasingly in charge of it.
  • Search_raw should probably be replaced by a hash at some point, because it's just a value to make it easier to detect when Search needs recalculation
  • State probably needs to be separate fields for as-entered and code-if-known
  • ID_Cust is a new field for the migration; I had this wacky idea that customers might need to share addresses (one customer buys a present for a friend; friend sets up an account and then moves, first friend buys another present but doesn't get the updated address... egh). (Consequently, the [Contacts x Addrs] table in the Access version will be going away too.)
• History:
  • 2009-07-09 Moved to separate wiki page; no design changes
