Will the system work if I create relationships in ERD fashion? Why can't an entity have a relationship with more than two occurrences? Are unary relationships possible? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for replying. I've attached an image of the relationship menu from an example database. What is the rationale for the division of attributes? Why is there so much replication? I'd really appreciate clarification on the database structure going on in Filemaker. Also, why does Filemaker name the database file the same as the first table, as if you'd only have one table and want it to be named the same as the database file? Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to understand how Filemaker is managing it's tables and relationships. I've seen examples of Filemaker databases where relationships are created following Codd's relational database design. I've also seen examples of databases with seemingly lots of data duplication and non-traditional key placements. I'd appreciate it if someone could explain to me how Filemaker is dealing with data integrity. Thanks.
