# Delete Check

When build any kind of complex business application like ERP there will arise a need to check if the record that the use of the application is trying to delete has any dependent records added or not before deleting the concerned record.

*For example is user is trying to delete a State from StateMaster table there would be a need to first check if there are any cities entered in the CityMaster table which is related to the State being delete.*

In such situations use this powerful functionality to check for existence of dependent records.
