Cascade Types

Cascade types define how operations performed on one entity (like saving, deleting, or updating) automatically affect related entities in a database. For example, if you delete a parent record, cascade settings can ensure that associated child records are also deleted without needing separate commands. Different cascade types specify which operations are propagated—for instance, "persist" for saving new entities, "remove" for deletions, or "all" for applying all operations. These settings help manage complex data relationships efficiently, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort in maintaining related data.
