I will be later moving this data to other storage. Also, by size of the DB, I mean size of live DB (to ease the process of re-storation, when needed). I don't plan to do it in sync fashion but my records are on the basis of parent table's status than the timestamp so, bulk deletes might not be of much help. In otherwise case (without triggers), I think I will have to find the dependencies (using reflection), create a dependency graph and perform ordered archival and deletion which sounds like little complex than the trigger approach. Any thoughts?

@instanceOfObject: well, I don't know your data model, and if you think triggers make things easier, then don't hesitate to use them. If you have so many tables you need to auto detect your dependencies, the problem may be more complex than I thought. But I guess it would not mind make some performance tests first.
