Profile:

现在,如果我删除了一个包含许多地址的配置文件：

$em->remove($profile);

如何删除地址？

Doctrine是否获取与此配置文件相关的所有地址,然后删除它们或仅删除配置文件并让数据库处理地址？

我找到了一些关于Hibernate的答案,但没有关于Doctrine的答案.

编辑：从Doctrine书中添加三个注释

1.If an association is marked as CASCADE=REMOVE Doctrine 2 will fetch this association. If its a Single association it will pass this entity to EntityManager#remove(). If the association is a collection,Doctrine will loop over all its elements and pass them toEntityManager#remove(). In both cases the cascade remove semantics are applied recursively. For large object graphs this removal strategy can be very costly.

2.Using a DQL DELETE statement allows you to delete multiple entities of a type with a single command and without hydrating these entities. This can be very efficient to delete large object graphs from the database.

3.Using foreign key semantics onDelete=”CASCADE” can force the database to remove all associated objects internally. This strategy is a bit tricky to get right but can be very powerful and fast. You should be aware however that using strategy 1 (CASCADE=REMOVE) completely by-passes any foreign key onDelete=CASCADE option,because Doctrine will fetch and remove all associated entities explicitly nevertheless.
