Saving related objects

[Jim Menard <ji...@io.com>]

I want to make sure I understand a few basic points about using Torque.

When I save an object, it does not save any related objects, correct? 
For example,

	BillAccount account = new BillAccount();
	Address address = new Address();
	account.setAddress(address);

	account.save();		// This does NOT save the address, right?

Likewise, with deletes I have to manually delete related objects, 
correct? (I have not yet experimented with specifying foreign key 
onUpdate and onDelete values.)

Thank you for your help.

Jim

Wrong - Torque WILL save the related address.

I haven't tried these either, but in any case they will depend on the 
availability of these features in the underlying RDBMS (i.e. don't 
expect them to work for MySQL).
