How does SFDC store the relationship of the Account record to the related Partner record?

Question

We have business Accounts records in which we have associated related Broker Accounts using the "Partner Account" related list functionaltiy.  How does SFDC store the relationship of these 2 records?  Right now a user will click a look up on the broker related account and associate the record by manually choosing the broker account name they want associated.  How is this relationship stored in SFDC?  thank you

That relationship between the Business Account and the Related Partner Account is classified as a "Junction" object and will facilitate a many-to-many configuration (A business account may have many partner accounts and a partner may be related to many businesses).  The structure of the Partner object is fairly hidden under the covers but there is a simple junction object that is comprised of the following fields: AccountFromId, AccountToId, CreatedById, CreatedDate, IsDeleted, LastModifiedById, LastModifiedDate, OpportunityId, Id, IsPrimary, ReversePartnerId, Role, SystemModstamp   Great article here:  https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=relationships_manytomany.htm&language=en_US
