Database management systems are expected to handle binary, unary and ternary relationships.

Explanation:

Unary Relationship: It is a recursive relationship which includes one entity in a relationship which means that there is a relationship between the instances of the same entity. Primary key and foreign key are both the same here. For example a Person is married to only one Person. In this example there is a one-to-one relationship between the same entity i. e. Person.

Binary Relationships: It is a relationship involving two different entities. These two entities identified using two relations and another relation to show relationship between two entities and this relation holds primary keys of both entities and its own primary key is the combination of primary keys of the both relations of the two entities. For example Many Students can read a Book and many Books can be obtained by a Student.

Ternary Relationships: is a relationship involving three entities and can have three tables. For example a Supplier can supply a specific Part of many Mobiles. Or many Suppliers may supply several Parts of many Mobile models.
