A relationship is a data object that defines and establishes an association between entity sets.
A relationship may, in addition to expressing an association between entity sets, act as a repository for some portion of the data managed by the application. There are therefore two classes of relationships: those with fields (containing data) and those without.
Call up the Development Center with the DC command, select RELATIONSHIPS from the OBJECTS drop-down menu, and use the tools of the Development Center to define the desired relationship.
