Problem with relationships

Hello,

 

I have 4 Tables that I have to use for my data.

 

The 4 tables are:

1. "Address"

2. "Order"

3. "Order Line"

4. "Product"

 

In two of those tables ("Order" and "Product") there are 2 "Brands" fields which include the brands of our company.

 

The problem is that when I use fields from the "Order" table and apply the "Brands" field from my "Product" table I won't get the desired result. If I use the "Brands" field from the "Order" table I do get the desired results, however, I don't have all the brands that I wanted to select as the "Brands" field in the "Product" table contains more brands, which allows me to analyse my data deeper.

 

 

The desired result is that I would like to use the "Product" Table together with my "Order" Table.

 

 

Their relationship is as followed:

The thing is here that I want to use the "Product" table together with both "Order Line" and "Order" table.

 

The "Product" table only works now with the "Order Line" table.

Correct. Always, always follow the arrows. You cannot get from Products to Orders based on your current setup.  At a minimum you need to make the orders to order lines link bidirectional.

 

BEWARE:  This can have unintended consequences, especially in RLS scenarios.
