CREATE TABLE task (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
                   task  CHAR(1) NOT NULL);

CREATE TABLE time (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
                   task INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES task(id),
                   start_end BOOLEAN NOT NULL, -- True==start
                   time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL);

if you have huge mining and don't want to perform date/time extraction from
a timestamp, you can separate this field in 2.
