Satish ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5f990cf... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWFjNTBmMTRl... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17031?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWFjNT... ) HHH-17031 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17031?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWFjNT... ) HQL - DELETE does not delete child entity. ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17031?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWFjNT... ) Change By: Satish ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5f990cf... ) {noformat}When using HQL to DELETE a parent entity, the delete is not cascaded to child entity. Here is a snippet of code that has the issues, detailed test case is below. transaction.begin(); // Use HQL to delete the parent. With CASCADE.ALL, // the child should be deleted. --- DOES NOT DELETE Query query = em.createQuery("DELETE FROM ParentEntity WHERE id = :parentId"); query.setParameter("parentId", parentId); query.executeUpdate(); transaction.commit(); But this piece of code cascades and deletes the child entity. // Delete using EM -- --  WORKS FINE! int parentId = parentEntity1.getId(); transaction.begin(); ParentEntity retrievedParent = em.find(ParentEntity.class, parentId); em.remove(retrievedParent); transaction.commit(); -- Database tables. create table TEST.TEST_PARENT_TABLE ( ID                  INTEGER not null primary key, NAME                VARCHAR(256) ); create table TEST.TEST_CHILD_TABLE ( ID                  INTEGER not null primary key, NAME                VARCHAR(256) );{noformat} ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17031#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17031#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
