TCascadeType Enumeration

Specifies which persistence operations are automatically propagated from an entity to its associated objects.

Remarks

Use values of this enumeration (combined in a TCascadeTypes set) in the Cascade parameter of AssociationAttribute and ManyValuedAssociationAttribute to control which operations cascade from a parent entity to its children. The predefined constants CascadeTypeAll, CascadeTypeAllRemoveOrphan, and CascadeTypeAllButRemove cover the most common combinations.
