Right, there is an auto_increment column in the active_users, which will
get carried over into the deleted_users table. Since each entry in the
active_user will be auto_incremented, all of the rows in the deleted_users
will have a unique identifer as well.
At any rate, I guess two steps are better than three. Thanks for the help.
