Lily,

The basics are this:

***
delete from ontologies cascade
where [some condition is met]
***

A few points of note:
- This will delete all ontologies meeting the where condition and any child 
records in other tables containing those ontologyid’s as foreign keys.

- On the where condition, you will likely filter on ontologyid or name.

- Before running the sql, delete any models or branches that reference the 
ontology you want to delete.  If you don’t do that, this statement may delete 
them, but I can’t predict the consequences.

- Probably obvious, but be sure to have a backout plan (like a db backup) in 
case of unintended consequences.

Good luck!
Adam
