Re: Referential constraint in On-Line 7
Posted in 1996
Is it possible, that you placed referential constraints on other tables,
without the cascading delete option?
The other reason could be, that your database is no logging.
I can't tell where in the Online 7 manuals you can find any reading
about it, but in the Informix Guide to SQL V6.0 Tutorial you can find
some stuff on p. 4-19 (Referential Integrity).
Hope this helps,
