>Hate this "marked for deletion" crap. I come from an SQL environment that when you deleted a record, it was gone. If you wanted to mark records for deleteion, you added a delete flag column to your table. We never allow our clients to see deleted records, and they never have the opportunity to undelete. Yet they have to run a pack and reindex periodically.

No (I hope you don't want ZAP), but additional column 'deleteflag' is not required. SET DELETED ON will do all job.
