Hello Guys, Our core business application unlike many of the other projects we have on the go is not based on transfer, this was because the business requirement was that much of the data within the application not be actually deleted. this was due to a requirement for both Auditing and Report building which is based on objects which may or may have not been deleted :-)
The way we handle this in the current application build is to have a 'DeletedOn' DateTime field, or alternatively a bit column called Deleted, when an object instance in the application is 'deleted' then these columns are modified, likewise all the select queries are taught not to pull objects with these values set from the database. I've always called this process 'soft deletes'. I've been away from the Transfer project for a few months now and thought that whilst I'm back for this brief spell I'd see whether there were any new features on the ORM which would help it fit my use case!?! Looking through the docs and nothing jumps out at me, does anyone have a similar model to this working? If not, how much work do you think would be involved in being able to implement a boolean attribute to the <property> tag called 'soft delete' or something along those lines? which effects the way that transfer selects and deletes that object? I've really not looked into the source for Transfer but wouldn't mind putting in the leg work to add such a feature if there was a demand for it.
