Hi,
I have a question in general related to database. In my database, there are about 70 tables. Now I want to implement delete functionality from the UI side. When a user deletes a record I want the record to stay saved in the database but not be seen on the UI. Can you tell me what approach should i use from the database side?

Thanks,
Mavericky

there isn't a function in SQL Server that is able to do it.

Add a active flag column to your table. Default to TRUE, when user deletes a record, set the active flag to FALSE.

In your select query, include active flag = TRUE to the where clause
