Hello, here is a sample:

    children_table = Table('children', metadata,
                           Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True))
    child2group_table = Table('child2group', metadata,
                              Column('child_id', Integer,
ForeignKey('children.id'), nullable=False),
                              Column('group_id', Integer,
ForeignKey('groups.id'), nullable=False))
    groups_table = Table('groups', metadata,
                         Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True))

    mapper(Child, children_table,
           properties={ 'groups':relation(Group,
secondary=child2group_table) })

    mapper(Group, groups_table, properties={
        'children':relation(Child, secondary=child2group_table) })

Speaking English, this means "there are groups and children, and child
can belong to some groups".

When I issue this:

group = session.query(Group).get(2)
session.delete(group)
session.flush()

SA does this:

2007-09-03 11:40:25,915 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c
BEGIN
2007-09-03 11:40:25,918 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c
DELETE FROM child2group WHERE child2group.child_id = ? AND
child2group.group_id = ?
2007-09-03 11:40:25,918 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c [[3,
2], [4, 2]]
2007-09-03 11:40:25,919 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c
DELETE FROM groups WHERE groups.id = ?
2007-09-03 11:40:25,920 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c [2]
2007-09-03 11:40:25,921 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x..8c
COMMIT

Well, I dont mind, because this is what I really wanted to have.
Please, explain, why does this happen? I thought only group item would
be deleted and I would get orphaned records in child2group table.
