Master-Detail Relationship :
- It creates the parent(master) child(Detail) relationship between objects.
- If we delete master records then detail (Child) records are deleted.
- Rollup-summary field can be created in a master-detail relationship.
- We can have maximum 2 master details on an object
- Master is required field on the child object.
Look up Relationship :
- Look up relationship creates relations between two objects.
- If we delete any object then another object is not deleted.
- We can have maximum 25 lookups on an object.
- Parent is not required in the child record.
- Rollup-summary field can be created in this relationship.
To convert master-detail to lookup and vice versa -
You can convert a master-detail relationship to a lookup relationship as long as no roll-up summary fields exist on the master object.
You can convert a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship, but only if the lookup field in all records contains a value.
