In this video, we continue building a proper Spring Boot CRUD application using MySQL and Spring Data JPA. Today, we add an important real-world feature: Soft Delete. Instead of permanently deleting a student record from the database, we will mark it as deleted using an `isDeleted` flag. This is a common approach used in production applications where we want to preserve old records instead of removing them completely. Along with soft delete, we will also understand JPA custom methods and how Spring Data JPA can automatically generate queries from method names. In this lecture, we will cover: * Why soft delete is used in real projects * Difference between hard delete and soft delete * Adding an `isDeleted` field in the entity * Updating delete logic without removing data from the database * Fetching only active/non-deleted records * Creating JPA custom finder methods * Understanding how method names like `findAllByIsDeletedFalse()` work * Testing APIs using Postman * Connecting CRUD operations with MySQL database properly By the end of this video, you will understand how to make your Spring Boot CRUD project more practical and production-like using soft delete and Spring Data JPA custom methods.
