Ken and Chuck,

Thanks for the input. I have the delete rules set in the DB out of habit. I usually make changes to the DB first, then to WO (as opposed to generating SQL out of EOModeler) and it helps remind me to setup the EOModel correctly. It had just occurred to me that it may cause conflicts, but I suppose if the SQL executed for the delete simply returns "0 record(s) affected" WO will simply look at that as "Not an error" and continue on.

But I can see a HUGE danger if the EOModel and DB are NOT in perfect agreement on the cascading deletes as things could get deleted in the DB without WO knowing which I'm sure could cause all sorts of crazy, difficult to diagnose problems.

David,

Is there a reason you have them in your DB? It's far safer to implement the cascade deletes in WO so you don't have to worry about your object graph and the database getting out of sync.

To answer your question, the DB or WO will win at different times because of the order of operations generated from WO. I don't think it will be a problem though, since I don't believe WO cares if the number of deleted rows fails to match the number of deleted objects.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the best place to handle cascading deletions. Right now both my database (MS SQLServer) and my EOModel have cascading deletes defined on several relationships. The EOModel and database mirror each other's cascade settings.

Is this going to confuse WO if it goes to delete a related object only to find that the DB has already deleted it (I'm assuming that the database will have deleted the related record before WO gets around to it)?

Thanks,

Dave
