2. Relation (database) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_(database)

   [5] [6] A relational database definition (database schema, sometimes referred to as a relational schema) can thus be thought of as a collection of named relation schemas. [7] [8] In implementations, the domain of each attribute is effectively a data type [9] and a named relation schema is effectively a relation variable (relvar for short).

3. Relational database - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

   Most relational database designs resolve many-to-many relationships by creating an additional table that contains the PKs from both of the other entity tables – the relationship becomes an entity; the resolution table is then named appropriately and the two FKs are combined to form a PK. The migration of PKs to other tables is the second ...

4. Relational model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

   Most relational databases use the SQL data definition and query language; these systems implement what can be regarded as an engineering approximation to the relational model. A table in a SQL database schema corresponds to a predicate variable; the contents of a table to a relation; key constraints, other constraints, and SQL queries ...

5. Database model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_model

   A relational database contains multiple tables, each similar to the one in the "flat" database model. One of the strengths of the relational model is that, in principle, any value occurring in two different records (belonging to the same table or to different tables), implies a relationship among those two records.

6. Many-to-many (data model) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-to-many_(data_model)

   For example, think of A as Authors, and B as Books. An Author can write several Books, and a Book can be written by several Authors. In a relational database management system, such relationships are usually implemented by means of an associative table (also known as join table, junction table or cross-reference table), say, AB with two one-to-many relationships A → AB and B → AB.

7. Entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–relationship_model

   Consequently, the ER model becomes an abstract data model, [1] that defines a data or information structure that can be implemented in a database, typically a relational database. Entity–relationship modeling was developed for database and design by Peter Chen and published in a 1976 paper, [2] with variants of the idea existing previously. [3]

8. Associative entity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity

   An associative entity is a term used in relational and entity–relationship theory. A relational database requires the implementation of a base relation (or base table) to resolve many-to-many relationships. A base relation representing this kind of entity is called, informally, an associative table. An associative entity (using Chen notation)

9. Database schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

   The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term " schema " refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases ).
