How are 1:1, 1:N and N:M relationships handled in Microsoft Access?
What will be an ideal response?
By default, when Microsoft Access creates a relationship between two tables, it creates a 1:N relationship. N:M relationships are created in Microsoft Access, as in all other DBMS products, as two 1:N relationships linking the two tables (based on the original two entities) through an intersection table. As far as Microsoft Access is concerned, there are no N:M relationships! To create a 1:1 relationship between two tables in Microsoft Access, the Indexed property of the foreign key column in the table containing the foreign key must be set to Yes (No Duplicates) before the relationship is created. With the property set, the relation is automatically created as a 1:1 relationship.
