Self Referencing - One to one would be used where on a table, we have for example a customer, and we needed to associate perhaps a date of birth to that customer, or some attribute directly relating to that customer in this example.
An example would be if I completed a bike race and wanted to ensure the results did indeed have me in first place. I could querry the web page that has claimed to have the results posted. Perhaps there would be a database that would have both my name and my finish time and my finishing position.
Let’s say there was an variable text entry window where I could type the name or race number of the participant, and the result would be posted for me to see. Likely, this could be done using a 1 to 1 relationship quite easily.
-
The customer_id is used as a sort of ‘tag’ to allow something to be associated with it. Now, data can be quarried by using attributes under a specific tag.
-
An example would be if I wanted to see the names of everyone that liked my post, because I’m so popular and all I can see is a three to seven digit number that represents how many people liked something I posted, then I can make a querry to show the names of everyone that liked my post. This could be accomplished using a one to many relationship, such as wanting to see the names of all customer_id’s for example that liked a very specific post.
…ok, I just realized that my example may not be that great of a ‘practical’ example, because as I was typing, I realised that perhaps NoSQL would be better for this type of database, because I am so popular, and have so many likes that in order to handle ‘Large’ volumes of people that like my stuff, SQL may reach it’s upper limits…but I suspect for ‘ordinary’ people, maybe SQL would work.
-
Here’s a real world example, lets say I’m the google god, and have access to the whole google database and would like to find out who liked Dideridoo’s, but of those people, I would like to know if they had any friends who were into tree hugging. And when these two conditions were met, I would then like to know out of these results, pairs of people within the same geographic region, but because we are only using SQL, this could be determined by Postal Code for example.
-
It shows us a list based on combining data from two separate ‘tags’ whereby we can now see information more specific to our querry.
