级联删除的注意事项

一对多场景，在子对象映射中开启级联删除情况下，删除父对象将自动删除其下所有子对象，需要注意一些事项：

 √ 需要保证DbContext中已经加载了该父对象的所有子对象。

 X  如果DbContext内未加载子对象将不级联删除子对象，

 X 如DbContext只加载部分子对象也只级联删除这些子对象。

因此在查询父对象只应该使用Include("子对象属性名")查询(请看示例代码3)或者在DbContext另外把其下所有子对象查询出来(请看示例代码4)，再进行对父对象的删除方可级联删除子对象。

但注意以上所述情况只适用于关联子项比较少的情况，数据量少的演示测试Demo可以，工作中应该杜绝该类解决方案的出现。

You can configure cascade delete on a relationship by using the WillCascadeOnDelete method. If a foreign key on the dependent entity is not nullable, then Code First sets cascade delete on the relationship. If a foreign key on the dependent entity is nullable, Code First does not set cascade delete on the relationship, and when the principal is deleted the foreign key will be set to null.

You can remove these cascade delete conventions by using:

modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<OneToManyCascadeDeleteConvention>()
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<ManyToManyCascadeDeleteConvention>()

The following code configures the relationship to be required and then disables cascade delete.

modelBuilder.Entity<Course>()
    .HasRequired(t => t.Department)
    .WithMany(t => t.Courses)
    .HasForeignKey(d => d.DepartmentID)
    .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
