The PARTITION dependencies work in a way that doesn't do what we want.
Admittedly, neither does INTERNAL, but at least it's less bad.

If you run "DROP TABLE t2_p32 CASCADE" the foreign key constraint is removed
from all of t1.

Yes.  CASCADE is always a dangerous tool; if you run the DROP partition
without cascade, it explicitly lists that the constraint is going to be
dropped.

If you get in the habit of added CASCADE to all your drops, you're going
to lose data pretty quickly.  In this case, no data is lost, only a
constraint.


Thanks !

Maybe the "(" / ")" in the CASCADE description should be removed from ref/drop_table.sgml as part of this patch.

Should catalogs.sgml be updated for this case ?

Best regards,
 Jesper
