<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;background:white;word-break:break-all"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We’ve been running into an issue periodically where archival objects won’t delete. AS returns this message</span>: <span style="font-family:Consolas;color:#333333">Record deletion failed: Java::JavaSql::SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`archivesspace`.`lang_material`, CONSTRAINT `lang_material_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`archival_object_id`) REFERENCES `archival_object` (`id`))<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our wonderful IT guy explained it to me as “There’s a relationship in the database that ArchivesSpace is (sometimes?) not removing when an archival object is being deleted.” He’s not sure if it’s an AS issue or a problem with our data.
He has solved the problem each time for us by manually removing the language_and_script object, so he can then remove the lang_material object, so I can then remove the archival_object.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More details:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Table: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> archival_object - objects have an aoID<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Table:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> lang_material - objects have a langID and are related to the archival_object table via the aoID<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Table:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> language_and_script - objects are related to the lang_material table via the langID
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are others running into this? I would like to determine if this is an AS bug or something specific with our data.<o:p></o:p></p>
