- Create a Cron to delete users with course status 'enrolled/incomplete' for several months based on existing courseUpdateLogs
- Run Cron manually 1st time
- Find out courseUpdateLogs were very incorrect
- Find out a LOT of valid users got deleted and can't access their worksite
- F***

    That's why we have "active" / "enabled" flags but ok, have fun restoring that data.

    @LHofman you would normally have a Boolean in the database set to if the account can be used or not.

    Ultimate blocking access to the account without deleting it.

    Means you don't actually delete the data just set a flag that it's deleted

    Seeing as the data you were provided was incorrect, I’m not sure if you could blame yourself?

    However, I don’t see why you don’t utilize a “deleted” or “active” column as mentioned within your tables. Makes restoring data a lot easier when situations like this arise.

    so you've done it on the production, not on the test server/db, do you?

    @C0D4 @Nachfolger This was actually not an option for this particular use case. We created a close-out plan to remove data we didn't need anymore for GDPR reasons.

    @CyberXander Of course this was tested in our test and beta server first, but the logs were correct there.
