update instead of delete

with cakephp, is it possible to have update sql action instead of delete (i would like to set some ki开发者_如何学JAVAnd of flag, so it "looks" like it is deleted)?

tnx in adv!!!

It's easy enough using callbacks. A less manual approach, though, would be to grab the SoftDeletable behavior and tweak it to meet any special needs you may have.

Just create an delete / disable kind of column and update the same on delete, you would need to put condition delete / disable true for all find queries
