    We never delete anything in one go!!! What we do is change its name by prefixing XXX to its name, and then later delete all the XXX's. As we run a weekly system, we can delete the XXX's for most of our system after a fortnight. For the monthly and quarterly bits, we just wait a bit longer!!!

    But how can you know that object A is a daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly/etc object? If this is a database you have no prior knowledge of (heck, even if it is) you run a significant risk IMNSHO.
