Hi Jacques:
This is something I tried to get the group to look at doing a long time
ago. As you said, its about testing and then cleaning up test data. I
got a lot of push back based on the "auditing" argument. The result: Now
as I'm learning how to use various parts of the data model - or building
my own entities - I build data deletion tools along side my other code.
It really helps me to understand the relationships between all the
entities in use and I get my data cleaned up in the process.
A while back I started writing an Entity Engine cook book with examples
of how to do just this along with lots of other goodies...but then you
guys went and deprecated all my favorite EE APIs, so now I'm back to
square one on that idea :-(
So, to answer you question: yes! I think its a great idea.
Regards,
Ruth

Zhibin,
Actually it's a recurring problem and I begin to wonder if we should
not try to provide some help at least to delete orders, invoices,
payments and all related entities created just after a setup to
verify that all is working correctly. This of course without having
to reset all the DB (the records - tuples actually - created being
there just for the purpose of testing the DB setup)
I guess we have all been in this situation : clients like to see
some results before going in production...

Hi Kumaraswamy,
Thanks a lot for the feedback, the information you provide is very
helpful.
I just tried to clean up some demo and test data before moving into
production. But that's not absolutely necessary I guess.
Best regards,
Zhibin

Subject: Re: How to delete a catalog or catagory ?
Hi Zhibin,
Delete feature is lil. bit in secure(unfortunate delete will impact
more on
business). May be because of this reason, delete action for catalog and
category was not provided from years.
if you want to delete, write a stored procedure to delete
catalog/category.
Otherwise, expire them to maintain it as historical data(sometimes,
it is
important in ecommerce industry to maintain historical data.).
