Hi Greg,

Here's a simple mysql-specific example for adding cascade delete
constraint, for authors----0..*books, that should give you an idea of
what to do in your oracle proj (using oracle-specific constraints):

# in config/environment.rb:
  ...
  config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
  ...

# in db/migrate/002_create_books.rb
class CreateBooks < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :books do |t|
      t.integer :author_id, :null=>false
      ...
    end

    add_index :books, :author_id
    ...

    #NOTE: mysql-specific fk-constraints.
    execute "alter table books add constraint fk_book_author foreign
key (author_id) references authors(id) on delete cascade"

  end
  ...
end

Then, after migrating, that constraint should show up in db/
development_structure.sql, which your tests will then use when re-
creating test db:

...
CREATE TABLE `books` (
  ...
  CONSTRAINT `fk_book_author` FOREIGN KEY (`author_id`) REFERENCES
`authors` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE
  ...
