Relationships Between Data Documents

Real-world data is rarely isolated.

Linked Record Concept

Example: An Invoice document might include:

  • A Customer (linked as parent)
  • Multiple Line Items (child data documents)

AnyDB allows data documents to be linked in flexible relationships.

Relationship Types​

  • A AnyDB data document can have many other data documents attached to it.
  • An AnyDB data document in turn can be attached to mulitple data documents
  • A data document can link to other data documents via powerful formulas. Thus a data document can be built from many other data documents itself. (Composition)

Multi-Parent Support:
A single data document can be linked to multiple parents, enabling powerful cross-referencing and business process tracking.
