IDEF1X

IDEF1X is a data modeling method used in database design to visually represent the relationships between different pieces of information. It helps to organize data clearly, showing how data elements interact and depend on each other. In IDEF1X diagrams, entities (like people or products) are represented as boxes, and lines demonstrate how they relate, such as one-to-many or many-to-many connections. This method supports better understanding of the data structure and ensures consistency and integrity in databases, making it easier to manage and retrieve information effectively.
