MySQL: error on truncate `myTable` when FK has on Delete Cascade enabled

i have a problem with a mysql ERM which is currently driving me crazy. I have a table called usuaris_backoffice used to store backoffice users, then i also have a table called usuaris_backoffice_permisos used to store the privileges of every user. I also have a table called perfils where i store some profiles which can be edited by the backoffice users so to have a edition history there is a tabled called perfils_usuari_backoffice where i store which profile has been modified by each user. Then i also have a tabled called widgets which also can be edited by the users, so the widgets edition history is stored in widgets_usuari_backoffice. The FK are enabled for cascade deletion, so when a user is deleted from usuaris_backoffice its privileges are also deleted from usuaris_backoffice_permisos. The problem appears when i try to:

 truncate usuaris_backoffice_permisos

which gives me the following error:

 1701 - Cannot truncate a tabl开发者_开发知识库e referenced in a foreign key constraint (`test`.`usuaris_backoffice_permisos`, CONSTRAINT `FK_F8F850F3D001730C` FOREIGN KEY (`usuari_backoffice_id`) REFERENCES `test`.`usuaris_backoffice` (`id`)) 

As this 6 tables are part of a biggest ERM i've created a small test environment in order to be able to run some tests, so the following code can be used to create and populate the tables:

CREATE TABLE perfils_usuari_backoffice (perfil_id INT NOT NULL, login VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL, INDEX IDX_870785D657291544 (perfil_id), INDEX IDX_870785D6AA08CB10 (login), PRIMARY KEY(perfil_id, login, updated_at)) ENGINE = InnoDB;

Code which returns the error is:

TRUNCATE usuaris_backoffice_permisos;
TRUNCATE perfils_usuari_backoffice;
TRUNCATE widgets_usuari_backoffice;
TRUNCATE usuaris_backoffice;

Thanks a lot for your time, hope someone can help :)

Take a look http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/truncate-table.html. It says

TRUNCATE TABLE fails for an InnoDB table if there are any FOREIGN KEY constraints from other tables that reference the table. Foreign key constraints between columns of the same table are allowed.

From here it looks it worked in some previous versions

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;

Then truncate your tables.
