Hello Im doing an eomodel.. .and I have an entity called Area, and SubArea, for me an area can have many subareas, but subarea its an area itself also..
so its like Area <- >>SubArea.

If a SubArea is really just an Area with a parent, then I'd just have one Entity of Area with an optional to-one relationship to parent.

I'd model it as Area <->> Area with Area having a foreign key that points to the PK. You'll end up with each Area having a parentArea and multiple subAreas.

This assumes that an Area can have only one parent. If an Area can have more than one parent, then you'll need a many-to-many join.

Now what are the implications of defyning Area with its properties, and then SubArea and put as parent Area?... I see that inside Area Entity there is SubArea Entity also... but I guess this doesn't guaranties me the to-many relationship between the 2 entities isn't it?do I still have t defying the relationship?


Thanks

 Gustavo
