Hi, Craig. Not crazy at all. We're doing something similar to flag "archived" nodes. Instead of deleting context(since we want to infrequently access the nodes/relationships, but only under certain types of queries/traversals), instead we mark the nodes/relationships with a boolean property. Not as space efficient, but in our case, since we need to retain the full state, it works fine.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Neo4j] Tell neo to not reuse ID's From: Craig Taverner <[1]cr...@amanzi.com> Date: Wed, June 02, 2010 7:10 pm To: Neo4j user discussions <[2]u...@lists.neo4j.org> Here is a crazy idea that probably only works for nodes. Don't actually delete the nodes, just the relationships and the node properties. The skeleton node will retain the id in the table preventing re-use. If these orphans are not relevant to your tests, this should have the effect you are looking for.
