soft-delete-restore

To implement soft delete in Entity Framework Core, use a convention-based approach with IAuditableEntity and interceptor-based auditing to mark records as deleted without removing them, ensuring data integrity and historical tracking.

Restoring soft deleted entities while maintaining database auditing requires conditional reads and interceptor-based tracking to revert deletion flags and log restoration events, ensuring the historical record remains intact.

Yes, Entity Framework Core supports interceptor-based auditing for conditional reads, allowing you to automatically filter out soft deleted entities during queries and capture deletion or restoration events for auditable entity management.

You need conditional reads for soft delete functionality when querying a database containing auditable entities, ensuring soft deleted records are automatically excluded from standard query results while remaining available for restoration.

To configure soft delete rules for an entity type in your database, execute the soft delete configuration process to apply convention-based deletion logic, utilizing IAuditableEntity to track and manage the lifecycle of auditable data.
