This contribution clears down your database ready to add your own products either to test with or in preparation of going live.

The database you get with osc contains products, categories etc that are fine to test with but at some stage they need to be removed.
Also as you test you will have added a shedload of products, test orders and customers, these all need to be removed.

This contribution clears down the tables I believe need to be emptied.

If you have customer extra fields or product extra fields or other tables that need to be cleared feel free to edit /admin/clear_db.php.
