In our database, recursive relationships, often called self-referencing relationships, allow a category to point back to its parent, creating a hierarchical structure.
To handle recursive relationships effectively, we modify our Data Transfer Object (DTO) to enable users to designate a parent category, thus altering the database structure appropriately.
When implementing recursive relationships, it's essential to adjust your services to insert the parent category ID correctly, ensuring streamlined data retrieval.
A practical application of recursive relationships is in nested categories, where understanding parent-child relationships becomes critical for maintaining data integrity.
