- In a 1:1 relationship, the determination of the parent entity depends on the relationship participation between the entities involved.
- The entity with optional relationship participation is categorized as the parent entity, and the entity with mandatory relationship participation is categorized as the child entity.
Relationship Types
- 1:1 relationship: a copy of the primary key of the parent entity is placed in the child entity as a foreign key.
- 1:M relationship: a copy of the primary key of the parent entity is placed in the child entity to represent a foreign key.
- The entity in "position 1" is the parent entity, and the entity in "many positions" is the child entity.
