Yikes! I didn't realize that. Do you know the reasoning behind that? I didn't think you could do anything without the triggers firing

I think the reasoning is if you want to get rid of all the records in a parent table, you probably want to get rid of all the records in child tables as well, and ZAPping them is virtually immediate regardless of table size, whereas DELETE ALL and having the trigger fire for each record could take an incredibly long time for large tables.
