| Hi I am designing a db design. I have extracted Entity names from a use case. But I cant decide whether this is a one to many or many to many relation. How would you tackle this . Thanks. =======================================================My entitys are called Manufacturer and Supplier Supplier Entity. A supplier is realted to a manufacturer. Other suppliers may be related to the same manufacturer.eg supplier Dell sells HPsupplier Microsoft sells HP Manufacturer Entity. A manufacturer may have many different suppliers. HP is supplied by Dell HP is also supplied by Microsoft |
