Following up on #17338 ([nonrel] supports_deleting_related_objects
database feature flag):
carljm said that:

I'm not sure this is correct. If I define the following models:
from django.db import models
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Car(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
owner = models.ForeignKey(Person)
Related objects are indeed deleted on a sqlite Django project:
In [1]: from vortaro.models import Person, Car
In [2]: p = Person.objects.create(name='bob')
In [3]: c = Car.objects.create(name='robin reliant', owner=p)
In [4]: p.delete()
In [5]: Car.objects.all()
Out[5]: []
In [6]: from django.db import connection
In [7]: connection.queries
Out[7]:
[{'sql': u'INSERT INTO "vortaro_person" ("name") VALUES (bob)',
'time': '0.001'},
{'sql': u'INSERT INTO "vortaro_car" ("name", "owner_id") VALUES
(robin reliant, 1)',
'time': '0.001'},
{'sql': u'SELECT "vortaro_car"."id", "vortaro_car"."name",
"vortaro_car"."owner_id" FROM "vortaro_car" WHERE
"vortaro_car"."owner_id" IN (1)',
'time': '0.001'},
{'sql': u'DELETE FROM "vortaro_car" WHERE "id" IN (1)', 'time':
'0.000'},
{'sql': u'DELETE FROM "vortaro_person" WHERE "id" IN (1)', 'time':
'0.000'},
{'sql': u'SELECT "vortaro_car"."id", "vortaro_car"."name",
"vortaro_car"."owner_id" FROM "vortaro_car" LIMIT 21',
'time': '0.000'}]
This isn't making a second query to deleting the Car model, it is
depending on the database to do this. For comparison, here's the same
on App Engine:
In [1]: from test_app.models import Person, Car
In [2]: p = Person.objects.create(name='bob')
In [3]: c = Car.objects.create(name='robin reliant', owner=p)
In [4]: p.delete()
In [5]: Car.objects.all()
Out[5]: [<Car: Car object>]
In [6]: c = Car.objects.get()
In [7]: c.owner

Have I horribly misunderstood?
