No, I don't know how it's used. Anyone else care to answer?

     Thanks for your advice about "new table". However it will a
       bit difficult to support it in our case. Still, we need to
       know answer to our question about "deleted" column in
       job_table - do you maybe know how it is used?

          Hi,
           
           In exchange for Slurm automatically handling database
           setup (and reconfiguration when you upgrade to a newer
           version of Slurm), you have to allow it to do whatever it
           wants to do with its tables.
           
           Rather than adding (or reusing) an existing column in a
           table, I would suggest creating new tables with names such
           as "local_clusterName_job_table_extension" that have only
           your added columns and appropriate keys. These tables
           should persist over (most?) Slurm upgrades.

                   and is it possible to modify SLURM db (tables)
                   without disrupting SLURM work?
                 We have also noticed that in table
                   clusterName_job_table there is a column called
                   "deleted". Is it used by SLURM at any moment? Is
                   this column (deleted) anyhow related to task
                   archival?  If it is unused - can we use for our
                   custom purposes and sometimes put "1" there
                   instead of 0?  will it anyhow affect SLURM work?
