34796	Deleting child table does not delete columns in parent table when using multi-table inheritance	Stephen Finucane	nobody	"I am aware that we don't use database-level cascades (ticket:21961) but I expected this to be implemented by Django in Python, given the docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/db/models/#multi-table-inheritance) say that the automatically-created `OneToOneField` on the child model will have `on_delete=models.CASCADE`.

{{{
place_ptr = models.OneToOneField(
    Place,
    on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    parent_link=True,
    primary_key=True,
)
}}}

I have produced a reproducer which I will provide a link to shortly. In summary though, you simply need to create a table using multi-table inheritance and then delete that table. While the child table will be deleted, the corresponding rows in the parent table will remain,"	Bug	new	Database layer (models, ORM)	4.2	Normal				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
