same relationship for entities

[navaneethsstabilix]

Can a single entity be connected to multiple other entities using the same relationship in ApertureDB?
Is this allowed in ApertureDB?
Will both connections be stored, or will one overwrite the other?

I have a use case where a single entity needs to be connected to multiple other entities sing the same relationship class .

Example 1:
School → Teacher

School→ Teacher_2
Both use the same relationship class: HAS_TEACHES
Is this allowed in ApertureDB?
Will both connections be stored, or will one overwrite the other?

Hello @navaneethsstabilix .
Let's talk with a reference query example for the scenario:
Does this capture the use case :

[
  {
    "AddEntity": {
      "class": "School",
      "_ref": 1,
      "properties": {
        "name": "school1"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "AddEntity": {
      "class": "teacher",
      "connect": {
        "ref": 1,
        "class": "has_teacher"
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "teacher_1"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "AddEntity": {
      "class": "teacher",
      "connect": {
        "ref": 1,
        "class": "has_teacher"
      },
      "properties": {
        "name": "teacher_2"
      }
    }
  }
]

So upon executing this query, the graph will have 1 entity of class school, 2 entities of class teacher and 2 edges, from school to each of the teachers.

Let me know if you have further questions on this topic.
