                                            | So i have a project for school that i need to make an SQL server. I created the note pad file for all the tables and i think i have all the keys i need but i can't figure out how i am supposed to build the relationships. Supposedly you can use the same PK for two tables but i thought that wasn't possible so i am really confused from top to bottom. So the project I have to take someone's DB design from visio and create it in SQL server 2008 from the virtual thing at school. I provided a link to my Dropbox folder with all the files. I really appreciate any help i can get.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y7t21cjav5wx6o7/Vfos1JHHxiThanks HF |

                                          | >>i can't figure out how i am supposed to build the relationshipsa "relationship" is typically one table with a Primary Key constraint (or unique constraint) which is referenced by another table in a Foreign Key constraint.for complete syntax, remarks, and examples see these topics in Books Online:Alter TableTable ConstraintsThat would apply to one-to-one and one-to-many relationshipsFor many-to-many you typically need three tables - two entity tables and a "relationship" table.  For instance you may have person_table, phone_table, and person_phone_table which would support one phoneNumber for several people and one person with several phoneNumbers.Good luckBe One with the OptimizerTG  |
