  • Table is a logical concept in case of RDBMS. but files are physical concepts. There will be no physical relation between tables.

  • Tables are logical entities within a database and its files, as are their relationships. Relationships are more like enforced rules. The closest thing to "physicality" are the magnetic bits on/in the drive it resides.

  • you're not thinking of physical and logic data models are you?
