Hi, I need to be able to 'delete' records from table(s) but still maintain their information for an audit trail.
I'd rather not have a field for a deleted flag and have to condition all the queries on the table on the state of this flag. Is it possible to move a record from one table to another easily? Even better, can I do it opaquely (without knowledge of the columns)? Something like: "move from LiveUsers to DeletedUsers where ID=?;" where all the fields in the first table get moved to the corresponding field of the 2nd. (If this is possible, what happens with autoincrement, timestamp fields?) Thanks for the help; I hope it isn't a trivial question. I'm new at this; I didn't find anything on moving records in the list archives.
