- chromaton 13y agoI believe they're referring to tables that have just two columns, both of which are foreign keys to other tables. They're used to create many-to-many relationships.
- Pfiffer 13y agoI usually call them staple tables.
- asdasf 13y agoNo it doesn't. It is a common term for tables that are just foreign keys to other tables, generally for expressing many to many relationships.
- jhh 13y agook - that does indeed make some sense.
