Support for cascading deletes #1104

Open cmelchior opened 9 years ago

cmelchior commented 9 years ago

It should be possible to delete linked objects as well using some defined policy.

Suggestion 1: Possible policies:

Suggestion 2: Try to provide the same semantics as the GC, i.e. root objects and strong/weak references. Once an object no longer has any references it is deleted.

This reminds me of JPA's orphanRemoval=true.

Man, these +1s are adding too much noise, they don't add any value to the conversation and they could just use the upvote on the top post...

The current answer is provided here: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/2717#issuecomment-255973863

Is there a chance this can get locked like https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/575 ?

And it depends on https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/746

Reflected in AHA under: https://realmio.aha.io/requirements/PROD-13-2 As Kenneth outlined, this has a dependency on core support, which is in the works. ETA ~Q4-18.
