title: CASCADE DELETE just once
body: <p>I have a Postgresql database on which I want to do a few cascading deletes.  However, the tables aren't set up with the ON DELETE CASCADE rule.  Is there any way I can perform a delete and tell Postgresql to cascade it just this once?  Something equivalent to</p>
  
  <pre><code>DELETE FROM some_table CASCADE;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The answers to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45611/cascading-deletes-in-postgresql">this older question</a> make it seem like no such solution exists, but I figured I'd ask this question explicitly just to be sure.</p>
