Business analyst decided, let's define sales positions with a permanent
JDE Address Book number, but 'sales people' are not to be in any master
file permanently.



Region1 inside sales position has a JDE A/B# 914

Region1 outside sales position has a JDE A/B# 928

Region1 marketing position has a JDE A/B# 939

. . . (positions for other regions positions defined next)



Employee turnover example:

Two years ago JDE#914 was "Billy Bob"

Then JDE#914 became "Joe Schmoe" for 4 months,

Then JDE#914 became "Sam Salesman" for 9 months,

And finally, JDE#914 is now "Gertrude Gerty" until she leaves.



After Billy Bob left, Billy was no longer in any Address Book master
file, because JDE#914 became Joe Schmoe.

After Joe Schmoe left, Joe is no longer in any Address Book master file,
because JDE#914 became Sam Salesman.

After Sam Salesman left, Sam is no longer in any Address Book master
file, because JDE#914 is now Gertrude Gerty.

Best database implementation ever!

No problems in this design!
