Hii,

I am new to database thing so I am trying to wrap my head around it.

many2one: so in this relationship you will have more than one record in one table which matches to only one record in another table. something like A <-- B. where (<--) is foreign key relationship. so B will have a column which will be mapped to more than one record of A.
one2many: same as many2one but instead now the foreign key constrain will look something like A --> B.
many2many: this one is interesting because this relationship doesn't make use of foreign key directly. to have this relationship between A and B you have to make a third database something like AB_rel. AB_rel will hold values of primary key of A and also primary key of B. so that way we can map those two using AB_rel table.

tell me if I got something wrong :) give me some suggestion <3

I am familiar with NoSQL databases. they are generally easy to use and don't require much effort. however we use postgresql where I am doing my internship. It's a Odoo based company and Odoo uses postgresql as backed database.
