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.
