on_delete doesn't work properly with MySql.

[Dheeraj Yadav]

Model:

class Attempt(models.Model):
    student = models.ForeignKey(Student, models.CASCADE, related_name='quiz_attempts',null=False)
    quiz = models.ForeignKey(Quiz,on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name='quiz_attempts')
    score = models.FloatField()
    over = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    currquestion = models.ForeignKey(Question,null=True,default=None,on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    
    class Meta:
        indexes = [
            models.Index(fields=['student']),
            models.Index(fields=['quiz']),
        ]

Table created in MySql:

CREATE TABLE `classroom_attempt` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `score` double NOT NULL,
  `over` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  `date` datetime(6) NOT NULL,

  `quiz_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `student_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),

As you can notice models.CASCADE is not applied.

[Simon Charette]

Django doesn't support database level foreign keys on delete yet, this is tracked in #21961.

The models.CASCADE value implements cascade deletion at the application/Python level in order to support pre_delete and post_delete signals.
