About the types of relationships
When you join two tables using a relationship, you establish criteria that FileMaker Pro uses to display or access related records.
Your criteria can be simple, such as matching a field in Table A with a field in Table B. A more complex relationship definition will usually return a narrower set of related records. Examples of complex relationships include using multiple match fields, comparing match fields using non-equal relational operators, or using calculated match fields.
These are several common types of relationships, explained in the following topics:
About single-criteria relationships
About multi-criteria relationships
About relationships using comparative operators
About relationships that return a range of records
About self-joining relationships
