Many to Many relationship

  • Hi SQL Experts,

    I am designing a database in SQL Server 2005. I need to achieve many to many relationship between 4 tables. If I use the intermediate tables concept, then i need to add few more tables in the database.

    I dont want to create additional tables to achieve many to many relationship. Do we have any option.....other than using intermediate tables concept and achieve many to many relationship.

    Can we use System tables or System views to do this?

    Please let me know a better way to create the many to many relationship without adding additional intermediate tables.

    Thanks.
