I can only think its something in the name! I did actually see your thread moments after creating my own. I'd done a search on "DELETE OR IGNORE" without finding yours, so that'll teach me not to check more thoroughly!!! ;o) I did some further tests though and found that even if a DELETE OR IGNORE existed it probably would not do what I would have expected it to do, since foreign key constraints cause an ABORT regardless of the conflict resolution given in the statement. I found that an INSERT/UPDATE OR IGNORE will also abort with an error if the foreign key constraints fail, rather than just not performing the action. Maybe my understanding/intuition of the "OR IGNORE" clause should do is somewhat adrift of what it should be.
