[Typo3-dev] Database Relation fields and recursive/cascade delete of records?

[Gregor Kaczmarczyk]

hi,

don´t know any possibilty in typo3, but if you use InnoDB in MySQL with 
foreign keys you can define the behaviour for child records when parent 
records will be touched.

in your case you could define to delete all child elements automatically if 
parent record was deleted.

ciao, gregor
