We need to all join my occasional pestering of Jesse to fully support 
foreign key references in the database. :-)

The shredder script will then consist of something like "delete from 
tickets where status='deleted'" and the FK references will take care of 
chasing down all the references and purging them as well. You could 
then just alter that delete query with whatever where clause you wanted 
to suit your needs.
