टेबल एफके संबंधों के आधार पर पीएल/एसक्यूएल में डिलीट स्टेटमेंट कैसे उत्पन्न करें?

(मेरा पहला उत्तर बहुत लंबा और संपादित करने में मुश्किल हो गया, और इसे सामुदायिक विकिफाइड मिला, जो वास्तव में कष्टप्रद है। यहां स्क्रिप्ट का नवीनतम संस्करण है।)

यह स्क्रिप्ट रिकर्सन के माध्यम से कैस्केडिंग डिलीट करने का प्रयास करती है। परिपत्र संदर्भ होने पर इसे अनंत लूप से बचना चाहिए। लेकिन इसके लिए जरूरी है कि सभी सर्कुलर रेफरेंशियल बाधाओं में ON DELETE SET NULL . हो या ON DELETE CASCADE ।
