I'm a novice with databases generally, and FM in particular. I understand relationships in FM from a basic level. However, how to leverage them within FM, and how to set them up properly, is something I'm still learning.

My relationship graph in the DB I'm creating, for instance, is a bit ugly. Further, design choices I made a few months ago are not the same that I'm making today.

I'd like to accelerate the learning process by perhaps picking up a book, or reviewing another resource, regarding FM relationships. Do any such resources exist?

can't go wrong with this one: http://www.nightwingenterprises.com/Resources/approaches_to_graph_modeling_en.pdf

 

But take your time with it and revisit often.

That's a great article. At a minimum, I have realized what I considered chaos is notsomuch.

We spend a lot of time talking about relationships in our video training course... including Anchor Buoy Design Methodology... which is great for people to learn.

 

The videos are animated... and highly rated.  $39.99
