What is the use of CASCADE CONSTRAINTS?

Answer / naresh
If you specify this option, later when you delete a row in
the parent table, the database server also deletes any rows
associated with that row (foreign keys) in a child table.
The principal advantage to the cascading-deletes feature is
that it allows you to reduce the quantity of SQL statements
you need to perform delete actions.

Answer / nitesh
It is mainly used in referential integrity constraints.
When you use primary key/candidate key of one relation(say,
r1) as foreign key in other relation(say, r2), you want
changes made to primary key/candidate key of r1 must reflect
in foreign key of r2. And this can be achieved by CASCADE
constraint.
eg. consider two relations account, branch(with primary key
branch_name)
create table account(.....
foreign key branch_name references branch
on delete cascade
on update cascade
..........)
