Core Schema
===========
Rattail's core database schema contains all tables deemed "generic" enough to
be potentially useful to "any" retail organization. Many of the tables may go
unused by a particular org, but they will all be present, if the DB exists.
Some of the tables are truly generic, and some may be specific to Rattail
itself.
Assuming your DB is named "poser" you can see its table list like so:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo -u postgres psql -c '\d' poser
Note of course that this will show *all* tables in your DB, not just the core
schema tables.
