Hey folks,

Figured out the problem as I wrote the post but it might help someone
of a similar brain dead persuasion.

I've set up a one-to-many relationship setup between my conversation and my message objects as follows


Now when I add a few messages to a conversation and save, everythings
grand.

I reload the conversation and remove a message from the set.
Now I update the conversation in the db. session.update( .... )

Now the row in the join table has been deleted by the message has not.
This means I could have a huge message table building up upbeknownst to me because they're orphaned.... Ahhh is that the answer??

Stickin' in the delete-orphan attribute... Loading.... Saving...
Deleting... checking table..... Hah it worked. Bingo bango.

That's champion.

Great app ye have here. If I can understand it anyone can.

Thanks,
Mark.
