 * DELETE FROM phonenumber WHERE phonenumber.id IN (4,6,7,8)
 * DELETE FROM email WHERE email.id IN (1,2, ... ,10)
 *
 * On mysql doctrine is EVEN SMARTER! Now it would perform only one query!
 * the query would look like:
 * DELETE entity, email, phonenumber FROM entity 
 * LEFT JOIN phonenumber ON entity.id = phonenumber.entity_id, email
 * WHERE (entity.email_id = email.id) && (entity.id IN(4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)) && (entity.type = 0)
