# Deprecation: #83118 - DeleteClause methods deprecated {#deprecation-83118}

See [forge#83118](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/83118)

## Description {#description}

The PHP methods `PageRepository::deleteClause()` and `BackendUtility::deleteClause()` have been
marked as deprecated, as all database queries are now put through Doctrine DBAL's restriction functionality.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling one of the two methods above will trigger a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 extension using any of the two methods above.

## Migration {#migration}

Migrate to Doctrine DBAL and use the new Database API (ConnectionPool, QueryBuilder) to access the database
with the `DeletedRestriction` class.
