[ckan-dev] How to maintain the database?

[Stefan Oderbolz]

Actually this script was needed, because DataStore did not handle
"deletions" at all, so I hope it gets obsolete once we upgrade to 2.7 (see
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/3425).

But yes it might be worth to put it into a separate extension, so that we
can all re-use it and make sure to get the latest updates (like your
improvements).
