Description: CascadeDelete is a deletion strategy in databases used to manage referential integrity between related tables. When an object, such as a record in a parent table, is deleted, this strategy ensures that all related objects in other tables are also automatically deleted. This is crucial for maintaining data consistency, preventing orphaned records that have no correspondence in the parent table. The implementation of CascadeDelete is done through foreign key constraints, where it is specified that deletion in the parent table should trigger the deletion of corresponding records in the child table. This feature is particularly useful in relational database management systems, where relationships between tables are common and complex. CascadeDelete not only simplifies data management but also reduces the risk of human error when deleting records, as the system takes care of the deletion automatically and efficiently. However, it is important to use this strategy with caution, as cascading deletions can lead to the loss of large amounts of data if not handled properly.
