Is it possible to remove child records without removing master table records...the two having pk,fk relationship?
Answer / Devendra Pratap Singh
In SQL and PL/SQL, it is possible to delete child records while keeping the master table records intact by using a technique called 'Cascading Delete'. However, this operation needs to be explicitly defined in the foreign key constraint. If cascading delete is not defined, you can use a DELETE statement with a JOIN to remove only the child records. Here's an example of how it might look like for a SQL DELETE operation:
```sql
DELETE c
FROM ChildTable c
JOIN MasterTable m ON c.FK_MasterId = m.PK_MasterId
WHERE condition;
```
