Foreign keys
Databases establish relationships between entities via foreign keys. Orbitype can resolve these reference and make it easy to add, change and analyze relationships.
TABLE_OF_CONTENTS
Referencing another entry
Columns ending with the suffix _id are automatically assumed to hold foreign keys. This means that Orbitype will see a column name like post_id and correctly deduce that its value is the id of a referenced entry in the posts table. The editor will show a preview of the linked row and open a selection dialog when you click on the key icon.
Referencing multiple other entries
If you wish to reference more than one other entry, simply store an array of foreign keys instead. If, for example, a post has a column named tag_ids, Orbitype will automatically assume that it holds an array of ids that reference entries from the tags table. The editor will show the currently attached entries and allows you to easy add, remove and reorder the linked items.
