Si,

Could you explain what you mean by this?

I agree with consistent implementation for consistent requirements, but what else in the system is like a priority and uses an enumId field instead of a number?

Hi.

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but would it be better to change WorkEffort.priority from a number to an Enumeration? It seems that it would be more consistent with the rest of our data model.

Nothing that specific, I just meant usually we don't use a number for status codes, etc. Also it is kind of difficult to know whether 1 is higher priority than 9 in a purely numeric way. Was there a reason to use a number here? Are you opposed to changing it or adding a priorityEnumerationId which FK's on Enumeration?
