Hi Ron:
In general - and please feel free to add to the Wiki: If the utilities
that load seed data into the database encounter a record (to be loaded)
where the primary-key(s) for this record already exist within a record
in the database, only the non-primary-key data is loaded.
Specifically, you can never replace a primary-key(s) for an existing
record in the database. This is intentional and done to preserve data
integrity.
On the other hand, if a record with the identical primary-key(s) do not
exist (the entire combination of primary-key(s) is considered), then a
new record is written to the database.
Given that, what entity are you loading with SIC codes? You will first
need to determine which entity this is in order to answer your question
from below: "what happens if the entity engine detects multiple requests
to load the same classification id" ?
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Ruth Hoffman

I notice that SIC Codes are listed as a "supported" classification in
the seed data.

Are there any seed data files that load the actual SIC Codes.
In North America the old SIC is replaced by NAICS except for some US
gov't departments and agencies related to financial regulation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Industrial_Classification has
links to a number of other industry code systems.
Is there a set of seed data floating about that could be added to the
seed data.
If not, what happens if the entity engine detects multiple requests to
load the same classification id ?
This would happen if the sic code classification was loaded with each
customer or supplier in a bulk load operation of customers or suppliers.
