Hello,

I'm not sure if this is possible (or what it's called, and how to search
for it) at the db layer or if this has to be done at the application
layer... I would like to be able to delete one record in one table and
then automatically (without making an extra call to the db) delete other
records. If I'm using this term correctly, I think I'm trying to avoid
having orphan records.

In my specific case I want to delete a product from my database and then
automatically delete all associated records like the category and
manufacturer relationships.

BTW, I'm using MySQL 4.1.20.

I'm not really looking for code snippets but rather the name for this
idea and/or links so I can rtfm. :)



Thanks,
Chris.
