Yes, you understood exactly what I am trying to do, and it appears the
cascade delete occurs after, I didn't even think of that. If I PERFORM a
query on the companies table to test if the record exists in the DELETE
AFTER trigger of the contacts table and base my restriction on IF FOUND,
the record is allowed to be deleted. Thanks!
