Comment	>>> Should undeleting be implemented driver-agnostic (through added >>> details in the horde_histories delete action or through a specific >>> undo table) or should it make use of backend specific features and >>> only be implemented for certain backends? >> >> Good question. It would probably be easiest to implement on the >> driver level, because it would only require adding a flag, and we >> won't take the risk of losing any event information. >> This could be tough or even impossible with some drivers though. >> A driver-agnostic solution would make this work in all drivers, >> though it still won't work if using a shared backend with different >> clients. OTOH those other clients wouldn't recognize the custom >> backend flag anyway, so this probably shouldn't count as an argument. >> And we probably do want those events to disappear for other >> clients, even if we allow undo. >> >> Since the reason for using a different backend than SQL might be to >> not rely on an SQL server, those events shouldn't go into a separate >> table.
