On delete property for the delete action

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by CU10121822-0 124
Dear team, 
 
For one of the business requirements, I needs to implement delete action. So, I found the "On delete" property on table relation.
 
So, I have decided to do the On delete property on Child table because:
 
1.The child table holds the foreign key.
 
2.The relation exist from Child to Parent .
 
3.The system should need to know, what to do with the child records when Parent records got deleted .
 
So, I believe the Child table is recommended to use "on delete" property for the delete action .
 
Is am i correct?
.
Please give me the thoughts. thanks!

    Hi,
     
    Yes the relations will be created in child Tables. ( Child -> Parent)
     
    Cascade:- if you delete parent record all child records will be auto deleted.
    Restricted:- if child record exist then you can't delete parent. ( will give dependency error)
    Cascade+Restricted:- If child will not exist delete is allowed. If child exist then delete not allowed.
