Type the three relationship degrees (exam recall).

Type the three relationship degrees (exam recall).

Answer

unary (degree 1, recursive), binary (degree 2, most common), ternary (degree 3)

Degree = number of entity types participating. Unary relates a type to itself (EMPLOYEE Manages EMPLOYEE); binary is the common case; ternary is a simultaneous three-way association that must NOT be split into three binaries.
