Hi Pete,

Yes, that is exactly correct.  That is the "foreign key constraint", meaning 
there is a key
in the grid table, from another table (grid_info), so you can't delete the 
record from 
grid_info, until all the associated records in the other table are gone (that 
is the 
"constraint" part).

Yes, this is correct.  Once all the corresponding entries are deleted from 
grid, you can
delete those entries in grid_info.  
One quick note, deleting with id=x will only do one record at a time, deleting 
with 
datasetid ilike '[dataset name]' will delete all matching records at once, so 
it's easiest
to use the datasetid match when deleting from the grid table (if that makes 
sense).

That is my understanding, correct!

> Is our understanding correct so far?

Yes!

Okay, cool, then everything we've discussed in this thread is most certainly 
applicable
to that datasetid as well.  The only other thing, is you may have to still 
remove the
corresponding files in the /hdf5/ directory for these as well (if you haven't 
done that
already).

Cool, let me know if you have more questions!
