How to best test the effects of deleting an object on the current data set

Hi all,

 

I am wondering what is the best way to test how my data set will be effected by the changes I want to make.  I want to remove a custom object that is currently tied to many other objects with restrictive master-detail relationships.  I have made a sandbox to test my new code, but I am not sure how to test what changes will be made to my data set.  I dont believe a full sandbox is an option, and I am not confident in my abilities to make a good enough set of dummy data to test all possible issues.

 

Thanks!

Not sure why you say 'I don't believe a full sandbox is an option'. Is this for cost reasons?

 

salesforce.com are reasonable people and I have requested temporary full sandboxes before (e.g. for 1 week) when I've needed to test data migration.
