Hi,

I have a tables having this structure:

ID (int) | _ID (int) | Name (String)


_ID is the parent of ID.

I'm looking for the best method to perform a cascade delete.  For example, I
delete _ID, it in turn deletes ID, and should ID also be an entry within _ID, it
would continue through the chain.

For example:

0 0 Base
1 0 Sib1
2 0 Sib2
3 0 Sib3
4 1 Sib1_1
5 1 Sib1_2


Deleting Base would remove all the entries.  Deleting Sib1 would delete Sib1_1
and Sib1_2.
Can anyone help out here?

Regards,
Craig May
