JFraumeni Parent/Child Relationships vs. References
Question - how do we know which relationships are parent/child and hence will implement cascading deletes, and which are just considered references, and hence will not allow the referenced object to be deleted.
Thank you very much!

(When I ask this, I'm referring to the two bullets in the documentation:
-If a client application deletes an object instance, then its children are
automatically deleted as well (cascading deletes). For example, if a client
application deletes an opportunity, then any associated opportunity line items
are also deleted.
-A client application cannot delete an object instance if it is referenced
by another object instance. For example, a client application cannot delete a
particular Account instance if the AccountId field in an Opportunity instance
references the ID of that account.)

Hi JFraumeni,
Not sure if there is no way to explicitly determine this. I will check to see if there are some standard rules that are not indicated in the ER diagram.
