Hello,

are there any complications in general with a many-to-many "join table" having cascading deletes on both foreign keys to the interconnected tables? After all, this means that the "link entities" get deleted whoever comes first... could this pose a problem?

I cannot think of any concrete examples where this could really do harm, but if there are, please enlighten me.
