2. One-to-many (data model) - Wikipedia

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

   In systems analysis, a one-to-many relationship is a type of cardinality that refers to the relationship between two entities (see also entity–relationship model). For example, take a car and an owner of the car. The car can only be owned by one owner at a time or not owned at all, and an owner could own zero, one, or multiple cars.

3. 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)

4. Relational algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra

   The relational algebra uses set union, set difference, and Cartesian product from set theory, and adds additional constraints to these operators to create new ones.. For set union and set difference, the two relations involved must be union-compatible—that is, the two relations must have the same set of attributes.

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

   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.

6. Cardinality (data modeling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_(data_modeling)

   For example, consider a database of electronic health records. Such a database could contain tables like the following: A doctor table with information about physicians. A patient table for medical subjects undergoing treatment. An appointment table with an entry for each hospital visit. Natural relationships exist between these entities:

7. Database model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_model

   A database model is a type of data model that determines the logical structure of a database. It fundamentally determines in which manner data can be stored, organized and manipulated. The most popular example of a database model is the relational model, which uses a table-based format.

8. Relational model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

   The relational model (RM) is an approach to managing data using a structure and language consistent with first-order predicate logic, first described in 1969 by English computer scientist Edgar F. Codd, [1] [2] where all data are represented in terms of tuples, grouped into relations.

9. Third normal form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_normal_form

   A database relation (e.g. a database table) is said to meet third normal form standards if all the attributes (e.g. database columns) are functionally dependent on solely a key, except the case of functional dependency whose right hand side is a prime attribute (an attribute which is strictly included into some key).
