Data relationships¶

There is usually some kind of association between tables in a database. These associations are typically captured by foreign key constraints when the data is modelled. The data microservice lets you define “relationships” between these tables.

For example, an article table might have a column called author_id which points to a row in the author table. You may wish to fetch all the articles of an author when fetching from the author table, or fetch the author of an article when fetching from the article table.

These additional properties, articles of an author and author of an article, are what we call relationships. articles of author is an array relationship while author of article is an object relationship.
