PostgreSQL sourcecode
Hi there,

My name is Aaron and i am new to this forum.
I am after a couple of things but would like to take it step by step.
I have been assigned a project which involves me investigating the deletion process within mysql

I would like to ask how do i work around this, Basically from my research i have found out that MYSQL does not securely delete data from its tables, rows, columns or database. Instead it is deleted from the user interface and kept hidden from the user till it is overwritten by bigger bytes of data otherwise know as tagging rows as deleted to create free space.

What i would like to achieve or do is to delete data and locate it using the source code or any other means as when data is deleted it still remains in parts of the DBMS.

Please if anyone knows or understands what am talking please can you advise on how i can achieve this. I have not installed any version of mysql so does not really matter which version i would use till i get a way to carry out this investigation process.

Cheers
Aaron
