M:N - many-to-many relationship: In relational database design, a many-to-many (M:N) relationship exists when, for one instance of entity A, there exists zero, one, or many instances of entity B; and for one instance of entity B, there exists zero, one, or many instances of the entity A. ( abbreviated M:N)

Many-to-many (m:n) relationships add complexity and confusion to our model and to application development process.

The key to resolve m:n relationships is to separated two entities and create two one-to-many (1:n) relationships between them with third intersect entity.

A many-to-many (or M:N) relationship is one of three database relationships. The other two are: One-to-one (1:1) relationships
