You can create the foreign key constraints with the "ON DELETE CASCADE" option.
Then Postgres will handle dependencies automatically for you.

But that means that *all* DELETEs will be cascaded.

Unfortunately, there is no DELETE FROM ... CASCADE option (similar to DROP)

 

There is TRUNCATE ... CASCADE
