oracle automatically deletes rows when referential integrity constraint enforced.

if referential constraint specified on the child table as 'ON DELETE CASCADE' , oralce deletes associated records in child table when master record deleted.

if you are trying without enforcing referential constraint, how oracle knows master ,child relationship.
