I have a pair of models with a fairly standard :has_many relation.  The
only twist is that the has_many table is a namespaced STI table:

module MeteredService
  class Base < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :service_bills, :foreign_key => :metered_service_id,
:dependent => :destroy
    ...
  end
end

class ServiceBill < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :metered_service, :class_name => "MeteredService::Base",
:foreign_key => "metered_service_id"
  ...
end

When I do

  my_metered_service.destroy

Rails generates individual DELETE FROM commands (and there are a lot of
them)
...
DELETE FROM "service_bills" WHERE "service_bills"."id" = $1  [["id",
633398]]
DELETE FROM "service_bills" WHERE "service_bills"."id" = $1  [["id",
633399]]
...


Question 1: Is this the expected behavior?  I would think Rails would be
smart enough to do the deletions in a single statement along the lines
of:

DELETE FROM "service_bills" WHERE metered_service.id =
my_metered_service.id

Question 2: If this is NOT the expected behavior, have I set up my STI
relations incorrectly?
