Creating a Relational Database

One-to-one Relationship
If only a row of a table is related to a row of another table, it is called a
one-to-one relationship.

One-to-many Relationship
If each record of a table is related to several records of the other table, this
is called a one-to-many relationship.
Many-to-many Relationship
If a record of a table is related to several records of another table and if a
record of that related table is related to several records of the other table, there is a
many-to-many relationship between those two tables.
