Please clarify me:-
In one to one with total participation on any side we can simply merge everything to one table because it's one to one so no redundancy will be there,but in case of many to one or many to many with total participation on any end we can't merge everything into one because since one entity can be related to many instance of other entity there will be redundancy. Which will satisfy 1nf as redundancy can be there but not 2nf because it will cause partial dependency to arrive so we break it down hence in many to one :- 2 tables because the relation can be merged with many side.
But in many to many with any sort of cardinality there would always be 3 tables because here we still cant merge R with any of the entities isn't it?
Am I right?
