Cascade delete of a many to many relation table
Hi, let's say I have 3 tables
- contacts
- events
- tags
and a table for relations:
- taggable, with fields: tag_id, taggable_id and taggable_type
This is the kind of structure shown in laravel documentation.
Correct me if i'm wrong: the taggable_id field is not a real foreign key field. Thus, how is the record supposed to be deleted since it can't benefit from cascade delete ? Should we do it manually ?
