Cascading deletes in SQL Server

SQL Server supports cascading deletes. SQL Server does so via foreign key constraints with the DELETE CASCADE flag set. In the following example, after creating the objects and inserting some data, we delete a USR_ID from the parent data. After querying the child table (TUSER_PHONE) a second time, we can see that the cascading delete worked :

CREATE TABLE TUSERS
(
USR_ID int CONSTRAINT [PK_Temp_Users1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([USR_ID])
)

CREATE TABLE TUSER_PHONE
(
USR_ID int
,CONSTRAINT [PK_Temp_Users2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([USR_ID])
)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].TUSER_PHONE WITH CHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [FK_Temp_UsersPhone_Users] FOREIGN KEY([USR_ID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[TUsers] ([USR_ID])
ON DELETE CASCADE
GO
INSERT INTO TUSERS
SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3
INSERT INTO TUSER_PHONE
SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3
SELECT * FROM TUSER_PHONE
DELETE TUSERS WHERE USR_ID=2
SELECT * FROM TUSER_PHONE
