PhoenixSoft is a software house specialising in NHS contracts. The company
prides itself by selecting only those staff with topnotch skillsets – it is thus able to

departments to work on projects for a certain length of time.
Some staff employed is contract staff not belonging to any particular department.

Staff information about staff:

Staff number, staff lastname, staff department, and staff skillset code.

Skill Set information about skills:

Skillset code, skillset description, and staff rate of this skillset in
pounds per hour.

Project information about projects:

Project number, project start date, project end date, project budget,
and project manager.

Work Load information about work loads;

staff number, project number, date worked on, and Workload hours.

The schemas of the generated tables, with the primary keys underlined, are as follows:

Staff(staffNo, staffName, staffDepartment, skillsetCode)

Skillset(skillsetCode, skillsetDescription, skillsetStaffRate)
Project(projectNo, startDate, endDate, budget, projectManager)
Workload(staffNo , projectNo, dateWorkedOn, WorkloadHours)

Task
1. Create tables and insert all the data provided in Appendix A

a) Use SQL commands to create all the tables.

CREATE TABLE Staff

(
staffNo CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
staffName CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
staffDepartment CHAR(20),
skillsetCode CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (staffNo));

CREATE TABLE Skillset

(
skillsetCode CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
skillsetDescription CHAR(25) NOT NULL,
skillsetStaffRate CHAR(3) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (skillsetCode));

CREATE TABLE Project

(
projectNo CHAR(1),
startDate DATE NOT NULL,
endDate DATE NOT NULL,
budget CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
 projectManager CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (projectNo));

CREATE TABLE Workload

(
staffNo CHAR(5),
projectNo CHAR(1),
dateWorkedOn DATE,
WorkloadHours INT(1),
PRIMARY KEY (staffNo, projectNo, dateWorkedOn));
