Soft delete, or Hard delete.

Read the topic of whether we should use the ‘soft delete’ or ‘hard delete’ when we are building enterprise application. It was started by Ayende’s ‘Avoid soft deletes’, and then Udi Dahan says ‘don’t delete, just dont’. InfoQ has a thread to discuss about it. Personally, I agree with Udi Dahan. I didn’t say that we should always use soft delete. But I would say use it in most cases, compared to the hard delete.
