There are essentially 3 types of Relationship:

1-to-1 -- This should usually be avoided. Simply combine tht two tables together.

1-to-many -- This is imply implemented by having the "id" of the "1" as a column in the "many" table.

many-to-many -- This requires an extra table with a pair of ids. See Many-to-many for advice on indexing.
