Extracted from wikipedia, here is a definition of 'many to many' relationships in regular database management:
In our SQLite3 framework, we just created a dedicated class for handling such "many to many" relationships.In systems analysis, a many-to-many relationship is a type of cardinality that refers to the relationship between two entities (see also Entity-Relationship Model) A and B in which A may contain a parent row for which there are many children in B and vice versa. For instance, think of A as Authors, and B as Books. An Author can write several Books, and a Book can be written by several Authors. Because most database management systems only support one-to-many relationships, it is necessary to implement such relationships physically via a third and fourth junction table, say, AB with two one-to-many relationships A -> AB and B -> AB. In this case the logical primary key for AB is formed from the two foreign keys (i.e. copies of the primary keys of A and B).
