delete-context deletes child objects

[bweissman]

when deleting a context, this also deletes the referenced endpoint and user.

this should not happen as I may just delete the context to recreate with a different endpoint or user.

while there is a --cascade switch, it's defaulting to true and there is no (visible?) way of setting it to false

[bweissman]

using --cascade=false works (= is key here)

Sweet, is there anything more we need to do with this issue?

[bweissman]

It should probably be highlighted somewhere in docs or quick hint that the = is required (while it's not for most other parameters) but other than that I think this is fine :)

Yes, great feedback. I've added an example to the --help, so it is now:

Delete a context

Usage:
  sqlcmd config delete-context [NAME] [flags]

Examples:
# Delete a context (including its endpoint and user)
  sqlcmd config delete-context --name my-context --cascade
  sqlcmd config delete-context my-context --cascade
# Delete a context (excluding its endpoint and user)
  sqlcmd config delete-context --name my-context --cascade=false
  sqlcmd config delete-context my-context --cascade=false

Perfect!
