[SQL] Peer-review requested of soft-delete scheme

2013-04-16 Thread Mark Stosberg
Hello, I'm working on designing a soft-delete scheme for our key entity-- there are 17 other tables that reference our key table via RI. Let's call the table "foo". I understand there are a couple common design patterns for soft-deletes: 1. Use a trigger to move the rows to a "tombstone table".
