[AccessD] Cascade-delete (was: Estimating Help)

Just my two cents here.  I personally build my own business rules into the
front end, or the middle tier.  I don't like 'automatic' processes that I
haven't built personally! <VBG>  I think of it along the same lines of tghe
B vs. UnB issue.  It's there, and I can see it's use, I just prefer to
control things on my own.

Yes, I have been lucky. :) All the databases I've designed (with the
exception of my very first) I've locked the user's totally out of the
backend. They can only do what I give them security to do with the exception
of one power user that I've really (and I stress really!) trusted.

I supposed I'll be one of those that has to be burned before I follow the
path of wisdom. :) I definitely can see that situation you described
happening if you have a project where the client isn't willing to pay for
the administrative interface.

Some of us are just luckier than others I guess.  Never had a user rip the
guts out of your database by trying to delete a client that they "weren't
doing business with" at the moment.

I should have such users!  ;-)
