Multiplicity of association classes
« on: November 06, 2002, 11:32:08 am »
If A is an association class between B and C, how does one specify the number of A's that there may b e for each combination of B and C ?

Frank.
The very act of seeking sets something in motion to meet us; something
in the universe, or in the unconscious responds as if to an invitation.

Hi Frank,

THis is not actually possible. The semantics of Association Classes are such that the class and the association are actually identical - just represented separately. There are no adornments possible on the dotted line - it is there to indicate the link and class represent the same thing.

An n-ary association is probably more what you are after.
