Thread:Project:Support desk/Permanent deletion?/reply (7)

However, some versions of SQL servers also only archive tables with "DELETE FROM" queries instead of permenantly deleting them. I was not aware of that, however at that point it really becomes a database administration issue and not a MediaWiki issue. Its unlikey there exists a pre-built mediawiki tool that will take into account the db possibly archiving things in its own way that are deleted from the tables.
