Modes for the DbForeignKey onDelete and onUpdate clause of a foreign keys.


Note that we should never change the onUpdate clause as primary keys
should never change. Instead review the design ensuring the primary keys are immutable.
Always leave the onUpdate mode at it's default of RESTRICT ('No Action').
