        why not use a radical different approach instead? -> instead of
having IsDeleted columns all over the place, create an 'archiving' catalog
for deleted data and use triggers which copy rows over to the archiving
catalog when you delete a row. 

        advantages:
- the working set in the application catalog/schema is not constantly
growing with data you can't see, but you only have the data which is valid
(i.e. 'not deleted')
- referential integrity constraints always work
- simpler code

        'undeleting' data is simply a move back from the archiving catalog
to the real catalog. This takes custom code, however it's not a process
which will likely happen a lot, as 'soft-deletes' are mostly used for safety
precautions and not used as a way to undelete data on a massive scale (e.g.
re-activate a deleted user account).
