Description:
Version 5.7 and cascading delete/update still does not fire triggers. There is no clean workaround that could achieve this functionality. I appreciate the work that the Mysql has put into this wonderful DBMS, but why not just go a little bit further to make this a complete product? I would really, really appreciate if someone can address this problem, which frankly, is a bug because this makes Mysql non-ACID compliant.

How to repeat:
Create table1. Populate with test data.
Create table2 with a foreign key pointing to table1 and an AFTER UPDATE trigger to change a column. Populate with test data.
Update table1, trigger on table2 should be fired.

Suggested fix:
Make triggers fire with foreign key cascade.
