Suspended rows refer to a specific type of data organization in databases where certain rows are temporarily set aside or marked as inactive. This can occur in systems like SQL databases when a record is no longer needed for immediate processing but is retained for historical reference or potential future use. In many cases, suspended rows help maintain data integrity and performance by reducing clutter in active datasets. They can be reactivated or deleted as needed, allowing for efficient data management while ensuring that important information is not permanently lost.
