The One-to-Many relationship is defined as a relationship between two tables where a row from one table can have multiple matching rows in another table. This relationship can be created using Primary key-Foreign key relationship.
In a one-to-many relationship, one record in a table can be associated with one or more records in another table. For example, each customer can have many sales orders.
