> 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".
