Support for cascading deletes #1104

cmelchior · 2015-05-11T06:31:27Z

It should be possible to delete linked objects as well using some defined policy.

Suggestion 1: Possible policies:

NEVER
IF_LAST_LINK
ALWAYS

Suggestion 2: Try to provide the same semantics as the GC, i.e. root objects and strong/weak references. Once an object no longer has any references it is deleted.

Any progress in this issue?
I have 3step hierarchy of linked objects, I have dozen of linked RealmList in last step of hierarchy. - that is wrappers of primitive objects that even do not have @PrimaryKey - coz realm does not support list of primitives.
It is tonne of biodegradable code for remove all linked objects.

Any updates?

Really sorry to keep you all in the cold on this feature. It's likely going to be one of the first features that we will tackle after our current P1 backlog issues are handled. Thanks for hanging in there!

This reminds me of JPA's orphanRemoval=true.

Man, these +1s are adding too much noise, they don't add any value to the conversation and they could just use the upvote on the top post...

The current answer is provided here: #2717 (comment)

Is there a chance this can get locked like #575 ?

kneth · 2016-11-08T13:51:44Z

And it depends on realm/realm-core#746

roberhofer · 2018-07-30T17:04:59Z

Reflected in AHA under: https://realmio.aha.io/requirements/PROD-13-2
As Kenneth outlined, this has a dependency on core support, which is in the works. ETA ~Q4-18.
