Hi,
I have a table, and it is a primary table.
It has links to around 6 tables.

Is there any procedure where it will detect all the child relationships and delete one by one and finally the records in the primary table.
I want to delete a few records not all the records in the primary table.
i want to send the input as table name,and the column name with values list.

What should be done and how can i do this..

any help is appreciated..

first method
------------
if you have primary key and foreign key relationship then use cascade delete option.in that case you do not have to write any code

second method
-------------
write before delete trigger
