I browsed the web but couldn't seem to find an answer to my question.
I know it is possible to create a Junction table between two tables in order to create a many-to-many relationship between them, but is it also possible to create a many-to-many relationship from a single table ?
I have a table Books
, with IDs
, Titles
etc. I need to record in another table (the Junction table of my many-to many relationship) which books are mentioned in a specific book. It means I will have multiple records linked to a single book in that table.
It seems to me like a many-to-many relationship since one book can mention multiple other books, and many books can speak about a single book.
To refine my question : is there a way to create a two-way relationship between my Books
table and a Junction
table in Access? I tried to do so but Access seems to create a duplicate of my Books table (called Book1).
This is correct. The seemingly duplicate table Book1
is only shown to visualize the additional relationship from the Junction table to Book
. It is not actually duplicated.
So your relationships are probably already right. If you add a link to a screenshot of your relationship window, we can confirm that.
