  2. When do we use “One to One” relationships? Give an example from the real world.
    A one2one relationship example could be for instance a gym membership where a customer’s name, DOB and address would all belong to one person in a table.

    The customer’s I.D in the customer’s table is sufficient as “customer i.D.” stores the value of the customer name and address.

    An Amazon account where a customer has many orders of items.
