These relationships define how data from different tables interact with each other when performing analyses or creating visualizations. Here's a detailed overview of how relationships between tables work in Power BI: Types of Relationships: One-to-one (1:1):   This is the most common type of relationship in Power BI. It signifies that one record in a table can have multiple related records in another table. For example, each customer can have multiple orders. Many-to-One (N:1):   This relationship type is essentially the reverse of a one-to-many relationship. Many records in one table can correspond to one record in another table. For instance, multiple orders belong to one customer.

SQL provides a standardized way to define database structures, perform data operations, and ensure data integrity. From querying data to managing access and transactions, SQL is a fundamental tool for anyone working with databases. 1. Basics of SQL Introduction : SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL Syntax : Basic structure of SQL statements (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Data Types : Different types of data that can be stored (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE). 2.
