Deleting from a relation¶
This operation deletes child objects from a parent in a relationship. The operation does not delete the actual objects, neither it deletes the relationship column. The operation simply disconnects the child objects from the parent.
Specific Children¶
There are multiple "flavors" of this operation, but in its core, it must reference a parent object and one or more child objects. The parent object must have a valid objectId value. The APIs are grouped below by how the parent object is identified - using objectId, as a map, as an instance of a custom class or as a result of a previous operation in the same transaction:
// Break the relation between the objects identified with objectId values in the
// childrenObjectId array and the parent object identified with parentObjectId.
// The parent object must be in the table with the parentTableName name.
// The relationship column between the parent and child objects is columnName.
// In other words, disconnect the child objects from the parent object for the
// relationship identified by columnName.
