Employee-to-project activity table (DSN8A10.EMPPROJACT)

The sample employee-to-project activity table identifies the employee who performs an activity for a project, tells the proportion of the employee's time that is required, and gives a schedule for the activity.

Begin general-use programming interface information.

The employee-to-project activity table resides in database DSN8D10A. Because this table has foreign keys that reference EMP and PROJACT, those tables and the indexes on their primary keys must be created first. Then EMPPROJACT is created with the following statement: 

CREATE TABLE DSN8A10.EMPPROJACT
      (EMPNO     CHAR(6)                         NOT NULL,
       PROJNO    CHAR(6)                         NOT NULL,
       ACTNO     SMALLINT                        NOT NULL,
       EMPTIME   DECIMAL(5,2)                            ,
       EMSTDATE  DATE                                    ,
       EMENDATE  DATE                                    ,
       FOREIGN KEY REPAPA (PROJNO, ACTNO, EMSTDATE)
                 REFERENCES DSN8A10.PROJACT
                                       ON DELETE RESTRICT,
       FOREIGN KEY REPAE (EMPNO) REFERENCES DSN8A10.EMP
                                       ON DELETE RESTRICT)
  IN DSN8D10A.DSN8S10P
  CCSID EBCDIC;
End general-use programming interface information.
