Hello, I have a table of a 1 million users. I want to add a flag called delete if a user wants to delete his account. Note that this situation does not happen a lot. 1) Should I alter my users table and add a delete flag to the users table. >> it's easy to update however it uses a lot of unnecessary space. 2) Should I create a new table user_id, flag already prefilled with all user_ids. 3) Should I create a new table called deleted_users that has a user_id if this user wants to be deleted. >> it's hassle to update but takes into consideration the spareness of the data. Thank you, Alex
