In Twidget, you can connect database table data using the _id
field that is automatically generated for every row in a table. This _id
field is essential for creating and maintaining relationships across different tables.
A one-to-one relationship occurs when a single row in Table A is linked to a single row in Table B. Each record in Table A has a direct and unique relationship with a single record in Table B.
For example, consider a Users
table and a Profiles
table:
Each user in the Users
table corresponds to a unique profile in the Profiles
table.
The Profiles
table will have a foreign key _user_id
that references the _id
field in the Users
table.
A one-to-many relationship occurs when a single row in Table A is linked to multiple rows in Table B. Each record in Table A can have multiple related records in Table B, but each record in Table B has only one corresponding record in Table A.

For example, consider a Categories
table and a Products
table:
Each category in the Categories
table can include multiple products from the Products
table.
The Products
table will have a foreign key _category_id
that references the _id
field in the Categories
table.
A many-to-many relationship occurs when multiple rows in Table A are linked to multiple rows in Table B. Each record in Table A can have many corresponding records in Table B and vice versa.

For example, consider a Students
table and a Courses
table:
Each student can enroll in multiple courses.
Each course can have multiple students enrolled.
This relationship is typically implemented using a junction table, such as an Enrollments
table, which contains foreign keys _student_id
and _course_id
that reference the _id
field in the Students
and Courses
tables, respectively.
When working with functions in Twidget, you can use the _id
fields to query related data and populate the complete data set into the main object.
