How to represent a pair of paired relationships in a Database
I have 6 classes:
Fooq
s &Fooj
s, both of which share a common core:Foo
.
Barq
s &Barj
s, both of which share a common core:Bar
.
Now, a Fooq
always has a Barq
, and a Fooj
always has a Barj
.
In C#, this is all easy to represent,
Foo
and Bar
are abstract classes, Bar
has a Foo
and Barq
and Barj
both have getters to wrap their Bar
field and convert the type.It's not exactly beautiful, but it works nicely.
What is a sensible way to represent this in a (relational) Database?
And, how should I put together my Data Model so that EF CodeFirst constructs that Database model?
