Please, don't use for disable foreign key constraints:
```php
DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;');
// and
DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;');
```
This is a MySQL specific statement, and your are using a ORM. The previous statement doesn't work in other database system (for example: MSSQL). Use something like what I describe in my *DatabaseSeeder.php* file.
