-----------------------------------------+------------------------
The example in this section of the text seems incorrect. Specifically,
`artist_two.delete()` has no reason to be restricted, as there are no
`Song` objects for that artist. The `RESTRICT` keyword is only on the
`Song` model.

Comment:

Have you try this example? It works as described. `artist_two` cannot be
deleted because it is referenced through restricted foreign keys:
`Song.album`.
