OSS docs now own the full usage content for features that only run against an Enterprise deployment, since the client interface itself lives here; Enterprise docs keep only the parts specific to its own behavior. Sophon's overlay for these five pages is dropped since the OSS versions are now the complete reference. SQL Reference is restructured to match an object-type SQL manual (DDL by object, then DML, then DQL, then Expressions) instead of the old flat, loosely-ordered page list, absorbing the SQL client-connection guide and FTS-via-SQL examples into it.

Deletion marks rows rather than erasing them, so the data remains recoverable
|
|
for as long as the version holding it survives
|
|
[retention](/maintenance/cleanup).
|
|
|
|
Commits a new table version, so [versioning](/management/table#versioning) and
|
|
the [write guarantees](/basics/guarantees#writes) apply -- including that the
|
|
version advances even when the statement affects zero rows.
