| Hello all, I am designing an ecommerce database, the database has 18 other tables that have a relationship with the PRODUCT table, if I denormalize the database it'll probably have 16-17 tables that have a relationship with the PRODUCT table, my question is, is there a limit of the amount of relationships you should have with a table? |

| Are you talking about Dimensional Database Design(With star or snow-flake schema) or Relation database design? |
