Hii,
I am new to database thing so I am trying to wrap my head around it.
-
many2one: so in this relationship you will have more than one record in one table which matches to only one record in another table. something like A <-- B. where (<–) is foreign key relationship. so B will have a column which will be mapped to more than one record of A.
-
one2many: same as many2one but instead now the foreign key constrain will look something like A --> B.
-
many2many: this one is interesting because this relationship doesn’t make use of foreign key directly. to have this relationship between A and B you have to make a third database something like AB_rel. AB_rel will hold values of primary key of A and also primary key of B. so that way we can map those two using AB_rel table.
tell me if I got something wrong :) give me some suggestion <3
Another Many-to-many example within this usecase would be “subscriptions”. Users can subscribe to multiple channels and channels can have multiple users subscribed to them. You would use another relational table that stores the channel_id & user_id, with uniqueness for both together, since “being subscribed to one specific channel multiple times” doesn’t make sense and perhaps put a column to store “hitting the bell” in there too.
