Hi all,

I'm developing a database to store job adverts to appear on a company
website.

Each vacancy has at least one supervisor, but may have more than one,
and a supervisor may be responsible for multiple vacancies.

I've resolved the vacancy<-->supervisor many-to-many relationship in the
normal(?) way of having a table called supervision inbetween them with
two columns, the Ref of the vacancy and the ID of the supervisor. Both
these columns make up the pri key in the supervision table, and are also
foreign keys referencing the pri keys in the vacancy and supervisor
table.

Unfortunately this allows a vacancy to be added to the database without
a supervisor being assigned.

Is there a way in mySQL4 or Perl to enforce this without creating an
insertion anomaly?

Cheers

Eifion
