Excision is built into Datomic expressly for this purpose.
I don't know why people assume those capable of building a database would also fail to anticipate this need.
The difference is that you don't use excision except in special cases (like legal obligation to delete data), you use retraction which doesn't lose any history.
- alanning 13y agoThank you for sharing your experience. > I don't know why people assume those capable of building a database would also fail to anticipate this need. Praptak asked if it was hard to deal with and did not imply Datomic's developers failed to anticipate the need. Excision is a feature that must be prioritized like any other and in fact was not available until Datomic 0.8.3941. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datomic/Gk8h6MrnJYs https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datomic/Gk8h6MrnJYs
