Re: [development] Deletion API hits core

Offhand, it looks like this could be very helpful for implementing foreign keys with CASCADE on delete (the only way we can possibly implement them). The trick with doing so is that we have to handle deletions for modules that are disabled because not all databases support foreign keys/CASCADE. Drupal core, or schema.module, or something could implement hook_delete_alter() to add any necessary delete statements for those disabled modules. Of course, this implies that the schema system needs to have the hook_schema results for all installed but disabled modules. That shouldn't be a problem to get. I still do not think this is doable in time for D6, though. But it is very interseting. Barry
