What is the physical representation for a many-to-many relationship?..

Answer / Anjali Devi

A many-to-many relationship between two tables can be physically represented in three ways: 1) Using a junction table (associative entity) with foreign keys to both original tables. 2) By embedding one-to-many relationships in each of the original tables as self-referential foreign keys. 3) Through inheritance, where one or more intermediate tables are created to represent the relationship.
