Deprecated Database Tables

In the AlphaTrust database schema, you may encounter tables that are no longer actively used in current application workflows, but still remain in the system. These deprecated tables are intentionally preserved in the database schema for backwards compatibility reasons.

Why We Keep Deprecated Tables

Backwards Compatibility for Rollback Purposes: The primary reason we maintain deprecated tables is to ensure backwards compatibility during application rollback scenarios. When we need to rollback to an older version of the application, that previous version may require access to these deprecated table structures to function properly.

Removing deprecated tables could break the application during emergency rollbacks or deployment downgrades, where older code temporarily needs to access these legacy database schemas. Maintaining these tables ensures system stability and operational continuity during critical recovery situations.
