3.1.1.2.10 Cascades

Many of the referential constraints that are specified in the table definitions reflect containment relationships (for example, a component configuration entry is contained in a conglomeration). Removing an entry from a table, where that entry represents a container in a containment relationship, causes all the contained entries to be removed. This recursive process is known as a cascade. Each table definition specifies what cascades, if any, are performed as a result of removing an entry.
