One to One One to Many and Many to Many Relationship

Question

Hi How do you implement One to One One to Many and Many to Many relationships while designing the tables ?

Senthilkumar · Answer

Hi Arun The relations are enforced in sql server using the keys. Consider there are two tables. Table1 and Table2. Both table have the primary key and each table referenced by the foreign key. It will maintain one to one relationship between these two tables. One-to-many relationship maintained by enforcing the key relationship in the table2 and it will have the many entries for the parent table. Consider Product is table where it will have the primary key. These table is base table or master table. Sales table where it will have the multiple entries for the master record. This is called one-to-many. Like that you can see many examples http://sqlserver-tips.blogspot.in/2006/10/implementing-one-to-one-relationship.html http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2380/sql-server-database-design-with-a-one-to-one-relationship/ http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/tonyrogerson/archive/2010/01/23/how-to-create-a-one-to-one-relationship-in-sql-server-using-dri-triggers-and-views.aspx http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1308339/create-a-one-to-many-relationship-using-sql-server
