apple address issue in core data programming guide, under heading many many relationships. having introduced topic, guide reassures nervous users following:
if have background in database management , [many-to-many relationships] causes concern, don't worry: if use sqlite store, core data automatically creates intermediate join table you.
in other words, allowing many-to-many relationships core data isn't doing violates established database logic, it's handling logic you.
