Nope:

I am assuming that the main table is typical, so there will be 2 to 3
million DELETEs from the main table and also from each of the other 8
tables (which may delete 0, 1, or more records). Also, it was mentioned
that only some of these tables have a direct FK relationship, so the
DELETE queries against the other tables may be (much) more expensive
than a simple `delete from my_table where main_id = :1`.
