Missing Products Description records

Handling product table records which lack matching product_description records

Each record in the product table records should have a matching record in the product_description table. If the products_description table record is missing, many kinds of operations (attempting to view the product in the storefront, attempting to find the product in the admin, etc.) will not work.

To fix missing product_description records, see this forum thread:
