Chapter 27: Designing Your Database

The table is a tool that you use to store data. This chapter discusses constructing a database�; that is, creating tables with relationships in mind. It discusses all three types of database relationships and their variations: the one-to-one (1:1) relationship (1:1), the one-to-many (1:M) relationship (1:M), and the many-to-many (M:M) relationship (M:M). For local table users, this chapter also helps you decide which table structure to use, namely, Paradox or dBASE. Finally, this chapter covers a few of the interesting characteristics of both dBASE and Paradox tables.
