SQL Server 2005 Referential Integrity Question

OK, if I have 3 tables: registration, reg_detail and event_pmt and registration has the primary key (registration_id) that is set as a foreign key in reg_detail and event_pmt, and I want to constrain these tables so that you can delete an item in reg_details or event_pmt and that is all that happens, but if you delete a record from registration, that action cascades down to reg_detail and event_pmt, do I just setup referential integrity with on delete cascade on registration?

Thanks for you help!

Yup. Yeah. Yes.

On delete cascade is your friend in this situation.
