Marketing logic

What if ones partner is off on holiday or at home with the tulips? Is it alright to talk to another partner in those circumstances, or would they say 'sorry sir, it's not my job', and get back to their sudoku?

This just means he's a one man band so he personally deals with all clients, hey I might start using that on my marketing literature.

they are advertising 4 partners. I suspect its nice to have one contact instead of having a team that you have to explain your problem to each individually.

If that's what the model says, then it must be so.

a one to one with one table does not preclude a one to many on another.

For instance If you had a father table you could have a one to one table with child's mother but a one to many relationship with a children table. The mother can have multiple children or partners but can only have a one to one relationship with other parent.

Indeed. I suppose it's a relationship defined by the firm, so one to many would be correct. Each customer is dealing with one Forbes and Young partner.

[mudskipper]

That's not a one-to-one relationship.

Ah, it's marketing redefining logic again.

Each client has an assigned partner as their accountant and tax adviser. Each partner deals with their own portfolio of clients. So clients aren't asked to contact a different member of staff depending what their query is - they always deal with a Forbes Young partner.

That's not a one-to-one relationship.

[Forbes Young]

Eh. How does that work? That would mean that each of your partners only deals with one client.

The client deals with one partner their relationship is "One to one". Without intermediaries that doesn't exclude One to Many relationships for the Partner.

Yeah, I know that is the reality and was what was meant but it's not how I read it.
