Would this just be local databases or would it also be databases located on a server?

Tim - why not post your question as a comment on the idea?

Accepting this suggestion might compromise security on some existing apps that write temporary data in a non-secure way into a temporary database, which they then delete. Not to mention the temp DB might be huge and we really wanted that disk space back.

The default when deleting documents "permanently" is to overwrite the space they occupied so they can't be retrieved by looking at the raw byte data. Should we do less with a whole database?

Would something that leaves it retrievable for a period of time -- say two hours -- or an amount of time that's adjustable, fulfill the need?

This is one of those things that you don't think you need personally, but everyone else does....:). In other words, don't delete.
