I read somewhere that InnoDB cant determine the order to apply DB operations to rows when the request spans multiple tables??? (i.e. constraint violation???) Is anyone using MySQL + InnoDB and having similar issues? or is is it the norm to process models in Django on a per model basis instead of letting the DB cascade deletes across models?
