Cascade updates


Explanation:
...so heißt es wörtlich in Access (Imperativ); als Substantiv wäre "update cascading" parallel zu "delete cascading" wohl OK.

agree  Ken Cox: Also in the MS glossary. Incidentally (for the asker), 'Löschweitergabe' only appears in the glossary as 'casdade deletes' or 'cascaded deletes'. As 'delete cascading' is ambiguous in English, it might be better to use 'cascading of deletes'.

neutral  Ken Cox: same comment as for Entre's answer -- this formulation must be used carefully to avoid conveying the wrong meaning.
