Well I don't know if we understand each other. If I have a ForeignKey
defined with ondelete='RESTRICT', and I delete the parent, no errors
are thrown.

This only becomes apperent when you have a foreign key that is NOT
defined as non-nullable. Even if you define it to be non-nullable, the
error thrown when you try to delete the parent is not "update or
delete on table <parent_table> violates foreign key constraint", but
"null value in column <child_column> violates not-null constraint".

I've created a ticket (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/1594)
with more details and a test case to make it clearer.
