I have a unique (not PK) column. I need to remove old entities first and then add new ones (replacements).
Yeah, I've seen this: #5368
But I've also seen a "could be done" solution:
A function "setShouldPerformDeletesFirst" as described in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28218/uowadv.htm#i1137484 would be very useful in those cases.
What I propose, is that this gets implemented. From the dev point of view, it would be cool, if one could do that like this:
* @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Whatever", mappedBy="Me", cascade={"persist"}, orphanRemoval=true, removeBeforeAdd=true)
