Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-411) Reconsider placement and semantics of OnDelete element


Reconsider placement and semantics of OnDelete element
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-411
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-411
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.0_CSD02


Currently the OnDelete element is on the dependent side and specifies "what happens here if over there the last thing goes away", i.e. an observer/event subscription pattern. This may have been inspired by SQL's ON DELETE, which is also specified on the dependent side.

The "original" OnDelete element of OData V2/V3 seems to be specified on the principal side of the association, unfortunately not explicitly stated, only deducible from the only given example:

  <Association Name="CProductCategory">
    <End Type="Self.CProduct" Multiplicity="*" />
    <End Type="Self.CCategory" Multiplicity="0..1">
      <OnDelete Action="Cascade" />
    </End>
  </Association>

If the category goes away, it notifies its products to also go away.
