Setting up Relationships in your Database
One-to-One Relationship
One record relates to one record in another table.
Many-to-One Relationship
Many records relate to one record in another table. i.e. the field
State can have many appearances in the Customer Table since many
customers can live in the same state. However, it will only be found
once in the States Table.
One-to-Many Relationship
One record relates to many records in another table. ie. One customer
from the Customer Table can relate to several records in the Order
Table since a client might places more than one order.
Many-to-Many Relationship
Many records in one table relate to many records in another table.
i.e. in a Book Collection Database it is possible to have more than
one author working on a book and more than one book associated with
each author.
