Does Hibernate use the "ON DELETE CASCADE" option on foreign keys in mySQL?

Like this:

ADD CONSTRAINT `FK34FE7C671497435A` FOREIGN KEY `FK34FE7C671497435A` (`event_id`)
REFERENCES `event` (`id`)
ON DELETE CASCADE;

I tried all the "cascade" options in my hbm.xml file and it doesn't seem to generate the "ON DELETE CASCADE" option.

Thanks

Maybe this answers your question?

Thanks Pavol! After following the trail to Gavin's original email

http://www.mail-archive.com/hibernate-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03801.html

and back into the Hibermate documentation, I found some interesting information:
"
5.1.19. key
...
on-delete (optional, defaults to noaction): Specifies whether the foreign key constraint has databaselevel cascade delete enabled.
"

I missed that in all my searches in the documentation before.

On to trying that option in my project now. Thanks so much.
