Checked the docs? They are really good at this point. Anyways.
The following creates Tables A, B and AB. A and B have an id and a text field,
AB connects them (N:M relation).
create table A (id integer not null primary key,something varchar(16)
);
create table B (id integer not null primary key,otherthing varchar(16)
);
create table AB (id_a integer not null,id_b integer not null,
constraint pk_AB primary key(id_a, id_b)
);
create unique index u_A_something on A (something);
create unique index u_A_otherthing on B (otherthing);
alter table AB add constraint fk_AB_A_exists foreign key(id_a) references
A(id);
alter table AB add constraint fk_AB_B_exists foreign key(id_b) references
B(id);
