I have an article model that has one gallery relationship. Meaning that galleries table holds "article_id" field according to ORM specs: Has its primary key saved in one other row of another table (which belongs to this), has 1 related object. If I call delete on Model_Article it will not break relationship, the linked gallery record will still hold the deleted article in field article_id. Do I have to explicitly break relationship, before deleting and article, like this?

$article = Model_Article::find($id);
$article->gallery = null;
$article->save();
$article->delete();

What is the reason delete doesn't handle this by itself?
