Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Higher-order relationships are those that involve more than two entity types. Decomposing them into binary relationships simplifies the conceptual design and makes it easier to understand and implement. Unary relationships involve only one entity type, while strong and weak relationships refer to the degree of dependency between two entities in a relationship, which is not relevant in this context.
