Hi,

when a patron is deleted the borrowernumber in old_issues is set to NULL and the entries in statistics are kept, so the entries will still be there, only not linked to an existing patron.

For data privacy reasons you should not keep patron records indefinitely. It's possible to delete expired patron accounts regularly using the delete_patrons.pl cronjob or do it manually using the batch patron deletion/anonymization tool.

Maybe run some tests with a test patron to see how deleting affects your data?

Hope that helps,

Katrin

that deleting patrons will be a problem.
e.g. Checkout history.
