Following table line-up causes integretiy constraint violation:

Error: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`bradio_one`.`channel_program_spot_blocks`, CONSTRAINT `FK_CHANNEL_PROGRAM_SPOT_ID` FOREIGN KEY (`channel_program_spot_id`) REFERENCES `channel_program_spots` (`channel_program_id`) ON DELETE )

Table 1: channel_programs (parent)
Table 2: channel_program_spots (similar to parent, with additional attributes)
Table 3: channel_program_spot_blocks (has x entries with different values of attributes)

Table 1 hasOne channel_program_spots
Table 2 hasMany channel_program_spot_blocks

Association setup:

Table 1:

 $this->hasOne('ChannelProgramSpots', [
            'foreignKey' => 'channel_program_id',
            'joinType' => 'INNER',
            'dependent' => true,
            'cascadeCallbacks' => true
        ]);

Table 2:

$this->belongsTo('ChannelPrograms', [
            'foreignKey' => 'channel_program_id',
            'joinType' => 'INNER'
        ]);
    $this->hasMany('ChannelProgramSpotBlocks', [
            'foreignKey' => 'channel_program_spot_id',
            'dependent' => true,
        ]);

Table 3:

$this->belongsTo('ChannelProgramSpots', [
        'foreignKey' => 'channel_program_spot_id',
        'joinType' => 'INNER',
        'cascadeCallback' => true
    ]);

    $this->hasOne('Spots', [
        'joinType' => 'INNER'
    ]);

I have already tried it with different setups: with or without “cascadeCallback”.
Any suggestions? This thing blows me up …

deleteAll does not do callbacks. You have to loop the entities you want to delete with cascadeCallbacks (in web it might take time)

Why don’t you add “ON DELETE CASCADE” to your foreign key? It’s faster and easier…

Wow … never came to this idea. Updated my FK specs and deleting all entries goes so fast now!

Thanks!
