Which value should you use for the OnDelete property?

You are a Dynamics 365 Finance developer.

You have two tables as shown in the following exhibit:

You need to configure Table1 to ensure that records cannot be deleted from Table1 if Table2 contains related records.

Which value should you use for the OnDelete property?
A . None
B . Cascade
C . Cascade + Restricted
D . Restricted

Answer: D

Explanation:

Example of Restricted

Suppose we have two tables (Customer & Order) and the relation is of One-To-Many i.e Customer can have many orders.

So on a parent table i.e.(Customer) if I set a delete action property to “RESTRICTED” for Order table. Then If I go and delete the record from a Customer table. It will first check the record in the child table and if exist that warning prompt saying that first we need to delete a record from child table.

Incorrect Answers:

B: Example of Cascade: Suppose we have two tables (Customer & Order) and the relation is of One-To-Many i.e. Customer can have many orders.

So on a parent table i.e.(Customer) if I set a delete action property to “CASCADE” for Order table. Then If I go and delete the record from a Customer table. It will also delete all the related records in Order table automatically.

C: Example of Cascade + Restricted

Suppose we have three tables (Person, Customer & Order) Now Person is a parent of Customer table, and Customer is a parent of Order table having (One-To-Many) relations

If I set a Delete action property on Person table to “CASCADE” for customer table and If I set a Delete Action property on a CUSTOMER table for Order table to “CASCADE +RESTRICTED”.

So if I delete a record from Customer table then It will first check the record in the child table (order table) and if exist that warning prompt saying that first we need to delete a record from child table.

But if I delete a record from Person table it will automatically delete a record in Customer table and all records related to customer table in Order table would also be deleted.
