Hi,
I am trying to build an application that is using mysql and
sometimes sensitive data will need to be removed from the database.
When I delete something how do I make sure there isn't a trace of it
left? I am looking for a linux shred type solution. There should be
absolutely no possibility of data recovery.
Anyone know about the inner workings of the Delete command???
Thanks in advance,
Nico.
As far as I'm aware, there isn't anything like this.
If such a table has a primary key, you could use it to
update all the values in the row to overwrite them, then
delete the record.
