As a deliberate choice, Database Design Studio does not have a ternary or N-ary relationship type. The lack of standardization for translating a ternary or N-ary relationship to a logical model, has led us to adopt the process of reducing N-ary relationships to their equivalent binary relationships.

When ternary relationships occurs in an ER model they should always be removed before finishing the model. Sometimes the relationships can be replaced by a series of binary relationships that link pairs of the original ternary relationship.

As you can see, Database Design Studio can model a ternary relationship by breaking it down to binary relationships and using a weak entity and “PE to WE” relationships.

July 30th, 2008 ... After much pain and suffering trying to get ternary relationships working correctly using the JPA annotations, I finally hit upon this post. ... JPA 2.0 supposedly manages to make this cryptic nonsense, including the ability to associate additional information with a link table, much easier...
