Phoca Cart is a Release Candidate version and it is still in development. Upgrade of database does not work between development version. If you upgrade from RC to RC2, then database data needs to be updated. See:

administrator/components/com_phocacart/install/sql/mysql/install.utf8.sql (RC -> RC2 part).

There are SQL instructions for upgrading database of the component.
