The Runtime database structure comprises of two levels: the LINC Developer layer and the D-ISAM layer. It is conceivable that data deleted in the LINC Developer layer can still be present in the D-ISAM data files. The LINC Developer layer is controlled by the LINC Developer MAINT flag. The Easysoft ODBC-LINC Developer Driver's Physical deletion option allows control over the ISAM layer. The option purges any records in the ISAM layer that have been 'physically deleted' in the LINC Developer layer of the database. Physical deletion should only be used when initially accessing the data source. It can be a potentially dangerous option as it permanently deletes records from the ISAM files. It is intended that this option will only be used to bring the layers into line on first usage.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS OPTION CAN PERMANENTLY ERASE DATA.
