I have table B with primary key bb.
I have table C with primary key cc.

Primary key aa is a foreign key in table B.
Primary key bb is a foreign key in table C.

I have a trigger that on deletion of a record in table A, it will delete all the records in it’s child tables that contain “aa” as a foreign key.
Because table C contains bb do I need to specify a seperate trigger for table B to delete it's children when a record in table BB is deleted or will the trigger written for table A take care of this.

If table C is not deleted and the record in table B that contains the foreign key for table C is deleted, it seems I would mess up the integrity of the data in my database."
