Difference between JPA CascadeType.REMOVE vs orphanRemoval
Both CascadeType.REMOVE vs orphanRemoval=true does the same work of removing child entity. But what is the exact difference between the two.
Both are used to remove entities from databases using JPA. But both have their individual uses.
- CascadeType.REMOVE is used when you want to delete the child entity or entities when the parent is deleted.
- orphanRemoval attribute is used to delete orphaned entities from the DB. i.e. It marks the "child" entity to be removed when parent entity no longer references it.
