There are three main types of relationships in Salesforce: 1. Master-detail relationships model parent-child relationships where child records cannot exist without a parent record and parent deletion deletes children. Up to two master-detail relationships are allowed per object. 2. Lookup relationships can link objects without implications for security, deletion, or required fields. Up to 25 lookups are allowed. 3. Many-to-many relationships are modeled using a junction object with two master-detail relationships to the original objects. This allows each record to link to multiple others in both directions.

A many-to-many relationship allows each record of one object to be linked to multiple records from another object and vice versa. To create a many-to-many relationship, simply create a custom junction object with two master-detail relationship fields, each linking to the objects you want to relate.
