Oracle Foreign Key Question

Platform AIX 3.2.5 running on RS6000

     Oracle 7.0.12

Does anyone know if there is a known problem with Foreign Keys that have Cascade Delete option turned on in Oracle release 7.0.12?

I have an application that deletes a parent table and should cascade delete child table entries connected by a foreign key.

I have verified that no orphans exist in the child table, run my application that processes the parent deletes (successfully as far as I know...no abort), and rerun my check program on the child table, but now I show orphans exist.

By the way I also verify that the constraint is enabled both before and after the application and it is.

Thanks in advance for any input.
