When you delete a primary key row, delete corresponding foreign key rows in dependent tables. This preserves referential integrity by ensuring that detail rows are removed when their master row is deleted. If you do not delete the corresponding rows in the dependent tables, you may end up with a database with detail rows that cannot be retrieved or identified. To properly delete the dependent foreign key rows, use a trigger that performs a cascading delete.
