I have a hierarchy of tables which have huge data volume. Can you please advise me on what can be the fastest way to delete from the parent table all the way to its child tables? Thank you in advance.

Maybe using "ON DELETE CASCADE" clause on foreign keys?

Thanks, Michel, but I'm so sorry, I missed to mention that I am already using 'ON DELETE CASCADE'. What I would like to know is that is there any faster alternative??

I don't see any above all if you want to do it safely and concurrently. I mean if other sessions work at the same time.
