0025 /*! KDbRelationship provides information about one-to-many relationship between two tables.
0026  Relationship is defined by a pair of (potentially multi-field) indices:
0027  - "one" or "master" side: unique key
0028  - "many" or "details" side: referenced foreign key
0029  <pre>
0030  [unique key, master] ----< [foreign key, details]
0031  </pre>
0032 
0033  In this documentation, we will call table that owns fields of "one" side as
0034  "master side of the relationship", and the table that owns foreign key fields of
0035  as "details side of the relationship".
0036  Use masterTable(), and detailsTable() to get one-side table and many-side table, respectively.
0037 
0038  Note: some engines (e.g. MySQL with InnoDB) requires that indices at both sides
0039  have to be explicitly created.
0040 
0041  @todo (js) It is planned that this will be handled by KDb internally and transparently.
0042 
0043  Each (of the two) key can be defined (just like index) as list of fields owned by one table.
0044  Indeed, relationship info can retrieved from KDbRelationship object in two ways:
0045  -# pair of indices; use masterIndex(), detailsIndex() for that
0046  -# ordered list of field pairs (<master-side-field, details-side-field>); use fieldPairs() for that
0047 
0048  No assigned objects (like fields, indices) are owned by KDbRelationship object. The exception is that
0049  list of field-pairs is internally created (on demand) and owned.
0050 
0051  KDbRelationship object is owned by KDbIndexSchema object (the one that is defined at master-side of the
0052  relationship).
0053  Note also that KDbIndexSchema objects are owned by appropriate tables, so thus
0054  there is implicit ownership between KDbTableSchema and KDbRelationship.
0055 
0056  If KDbRelationship object is not attached to KDbIndexSchema object,
0057  you should care about destroying it by hand.
0058 
0059   Example:
0060   <pre>
0061             ----------
0062    ---r1--<|          |
0063            | Table A [uk]----r3---<
0064    ---r2--<|          |
0065             ----------
0066   </pre>
0067   Table A has two relationships (r1, r2) at details side and one (r3) at master side.
0068   [uk] stands for unique key.
