Hi,

We noticed that in our MySQL database ON DELETE CASCADE is not working
when a row is deleted by web2py controller.
It is working ok when I run SQL delete from mysql console.
Because of that, it is possible to get database into inconsistent
state with web2py

When looking into this problem I noticed  self._execute('SET
FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;') in web2py source:

web2py$ grep -n -A 2 -B 10 -e "FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS" -R *
gluon/sql.py-870-            self._pool_connection(lambda :
MySQLdb.Connection(
gluon/sql.py-871-                    db=db,
gluon/sql.py-872-                    user=user,
gluon/sql.py-873-                    passwd=passwd,
gluon/sql.py-874-                    host=host,
gluon/sql.py-875-                    port=int(port),
gluon/sql.py-876-                    charset=charset,
gluon/sql.py-877-                    ))
gluon/sql.py-878-            self._cursor = self._connection.cursor()
gluon/sql.py-879-            self._execute = lambda *a, **b:
self._cursor.execute(*a, **b)
gluon/sql.py:880:            self._execute('SET
FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;')
gluon/sql.py-881-            self._execute("SET
sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES';")
gluon/sql.py-882-        elif not is_jdbc and self._uri[:11] ==
'postgres://':

What is the rationale for self._execute('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;')
there?
I'd like to have my database consistent and ON DELETE CASCADE working
-
can I/ should I change it to =1 ?

I've found a discussion about  FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS in web2py
here ...but not sure if it's related.
