To Soft Delete or Not to Soft Delete

Read Original

This technical article examines the soft delete pattern in databases, where records are marked as deleted (e.g., via an IsDeleted column) instead of being physically removed. It covers implementation using tools like Entity Framework's Global Query Filters, then argues against the approach due to performance impacts, query complexity, and unnecessary data retention, suggesting alternatives.
