Hi Cascading deletes in SQL Server 1.SQL Server does so via foreign key constraints with the DELETE CASCADE flag set. 2.In the following example after creating the objects and inserting some data we delete a USR_ID from the parent data. After querying the child table (USER_PHONE) a second time we can see that the cascading delete worked : 3.Example : CREATE TABLE USERS ( USR_ID int CONSTRAINT [PK_Temp_Users1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([USR_ID]) ) CREATE TABLE USER_PHONE ( USR_ID int CONSTRAINT [PK_Temp_Users2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([USR_ID]) ) ALTER TABLE [dbo].USER_PHONE WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Temp_UsersPhone_Users] FOREIGN KEY([USR_ID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[Users] ([USR_ID]) ON DELETE CASCADE GO INSERT INTO USERS SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 INSERT INTO USER_PHONE SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 SELECT * FROM USER_PHONE DELETE USERS WHERE USR_ID=2 SELECT * FROM USER_PHONE DROP TABLE USER_PHONE DROP TABLE USERS Please check below link for more information. http://www.java2s.com/Code/SQLServer/Constraints/DELETECASCADEandUPDATECASCADE.htm Hope this will help you.
