var Contract real relation {Contract Char, //30 other attributes typical to all contracts} key {Contract}

var ContractPositions real relation {Contract Char, Position Char} key {Contract, Position}
foreign key {Contract} references Contract;

var BuildingEngineeringContract real relation {Contract Char, // 30 building engineering specific attributes} key {Contract}
foreign key {Contract} references Contract;
