Why did you not test this to get your answer?

For example without SQL:

a) NoImport products:
Any change (new items, new price, etc.) will not be displaying in your
shop

For example with SQL:

a) NoImport products:
If there is no products/products.sql, IC will check, if the table
products exist in your SQL db. Anyway, it will update/insert all the
products from products.txt into the sql db and it will create a file
products/products.sql 

	Right?: [ ] Yes [ ] No

b) NoImport products:
If there is a file products/products.sql. Any changes of products.txt
will not be reflect in your SQL db.

	Right?: [ ] Yes [ ] No

c) NoImport anyname:

   The same behavior as a) 	Right?: [ ] Yes [ ] No
   The same behavior as b) 	Right?: [ ] Yes [ ] No
