Answer from AI
In non-relational databases, relationships between data can be of the following types:
- Embedded documents — data is stored inside other documents, for example, in MongoDB.
- References — one document contains the identifier of another, allowing relationships without a strict schema.
- Key-Value — data is stored as key-value pairs, and relationships can be implemented through keys.
- Graph relationships — in graph databases, relationships are represented by edges between nodes.
Unlike relational databases, where relationships are implemented through foreign keys and join tables, non-relational databases offer more flexible relationships that can be realized through nesting or references.
