[SQL] ON DELETE CASCADE

I'm trying to comb through my database and add ON DELETE CASCADE to a number of tables where I already have fkeys in place, but I'm having a hard time. ALTER TABLE project_task DROP CONSTRAINT "project_task_group_project_id_f" RESTRICT; ERROR: ALTER TABLE / DROP CONSTRAINT: project_task_group
