UNIX and VMS--The Department-Employee Master/Detail Application
This section contains a sample master/detail application that uses two database tables joined on a specific column. This typical example of a department and its employees demonstrates how to process two tables as a master and a detail.
The program scans through all the departments in a database table, in order to reduce expenses. Department information is stored in program variables. Based on certain criteria, the program updates department and employee records. The conditions for updating the data are the following:
Departments:
If a department has made less than $50,000 in sales, the department is dissolved.
Employees:
If an employee was hired since the start of 1985, the employee is terminated.
If the employee's yearly salary is more than the minimum company wage of $14,000 and the employee is not nearing retirement (over 58 years of age), the employee takes a 5% pay cut.
If the employee's department is dissolved and the employee is not terminated, the employee is moved into a state of limbo (the Toberesolved database table, which is described later) to be resolved by a supervisor.
This program uses two cursors in a master/detail fashion. The first cursor is for the Department table, and the second is for the Employee table. The create statements used to create the tables are shown below. The cursors retrieve all the information in their respective tables, some of which is updated. The cursor for the Employee table also retrieves an integer date interval whose value is positive if the employee was hired after January 1, 1985.
Each row that is scanned, both from the Department table and the Employee table, is recorded into the system output file. This file serves as a log of the session and as a simplified report of the updates.
Each section of code is commented for the purpose of the application and to clarify some of the uses of the EQUEL statements. The program illustrates table creation, multi-query transactions, all cursor statements and direct updates. For purposes of brevity, error handling on data manipulation statements is simply to close down the application.
For readability, all EQUEL reserved words are in uppercase.
The two create statements describing the Employee and Department database tables are shown at the start of the program.
