Class::...de::Fail(3)
π NAME π
okay so welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Class::...de::Fail(3) β and no bestie, that truncated-looking title isn't me being lazy, that's just how the header arrived, iykyk π«Ά
The actual module is Class::DBI::Cascade::Fail and, per the NAME section, its whole personality is: Do not cascade if foreign objects exist β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the vibe check πΈ β Class::DBI::Cascade::Fail is a Cascading Delete strategy, and it's giving responsible older sibling energy π
What it does: if any object that's about to be deleted still has other objects pointing at it, this thing throws an error ππ no cap, it just refuses. It will not cascade. Not today, not ever.
Think of it like a bouncer at the club π β the delete doesn't get to walk out the door while it's still got people attached to it. Full stop, periodt.
ngl, that's the whole strategy: object still has stuff pointing at it β error. That's it, that's the icon π
and that's a wrap, bestie π§π β this little bundle of joy comes to you from perl v5.42.0, dated 2011-04-08 (yes she's vintage, she's still iconic, we stan a timeless queen πβ¨π).
