Relationships happen between two tables.
One to Many means that one objects (called tuples, or rows) of Table A is related to one or more objects in Table B.
For example, if a doctor can work only in one hospital, and we have a table of hospitals and a table of doctors, Hospitals has a One to Many relationship with Doctors, because for each hospital you will have one or more doctors working at it.
Many to Many means that for each object in Table A, one or more objects in Table B are associated, and viceversa.
In the example, if doctors are allowed to work in different hospitals, the table Hospitals and the table Doctors have a Many to Many relationship.
Now, how to implement this in a relationship DB, that is another question.
