APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

prepare_delete_sth

Title   : prepare_delete_sth
Usage   :
Function: Creates a prepared statement with one placeholder variable suitable
          to delete one row from the respective table the given class maps to.

          The method may throw an exception, or the database handle methods
          involved may throw an exception.
Example :
Returns : A DBI statement handle for a prepared statement with one placeholder
Args    : The database handle to use for preparing the statement.
          The class of which a corresponding entry shall be deleted. 
          Optionally, additional (named) arguments.

cascade_delete

Title   : cascade_delete
Usage   :
Function: Removes all persistent objects dependent from the given persistent
          object from the database (foreign key integrity).

          The method may throw an exception, or the database calls
          involved may throw an exception.

          If the RDBMS supports cascading deletes, and the schema definition
          enabled FK constraints with cascading deletes, then the
          implementation won''t need to do anything.
Example :
Returns : TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise
Args    : The DBContextI implementing object for the database.
          The object for which the dependent rows shall be deleted. 
          Optionally, additional (named) arguments.
