public class ForeignKeyDeleteAction
extends Object
extends Object

The action taken when a referenced record in the foreign key database is deleted.

The delete action applies to a secondary database that is configured to have a foreign key integrity constraint. The delete action is specified by calling SecondaryConfig.setForeignKeyDeleteAction(com.sleepycat.db.ForeignKeyDeleteAction).

When a record in the foreign key database is deleted, it is checked to see if it is referenced by any record in the associated secondary database. If the key is referenced, the delete action is applied. By default, the delete action is ABORT.
