I'm thinking of changing my typical "Delete" button so that it doesn't
actually delete a record, but rather flags it as a record to be ignored.
I'd also record the date/time that it was flagged. That way I can offer
the user the opportunity to Undo the Delete. I'll probably schedule a
job to delete all records which have been flagged for more than 1 day.
Hey, I've been influenced by Jef Raskin's "The Humane Interface" and Alan
Cooper's "The Inmates are Running the Asylum."
Any thoughts?
Here's another use for flagging records: Our db tables which contain
scientific data contain an "approved" field, whose default value is
"false". After data is inserted into the database, an analyst checks it
out, and then we toggle the flag to "true". Of course, our non-admin
canned queries all include "WHERE approved = true".
